Office-Based Opioid Treatment, sometimes referred to as OBOT, provides treatment for people seeking recovery from opioid use disorder in an outpatient setting with the use of prescription medication assisted treatment and counseling.  Buprenorphine, Suboxone, and/or Vivitrol may be prescribed for the treatment of opioid use disorder in the OBOT setting.

Medication Management

“Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders and prevent opioid overdose. A common misconception associated with MAT is that it substitutes one drug for another. Instead, these medications relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body. MAT programs provide a safe and controlled level of medication to overcome the use of an abused opioid.” (Source: SAMHSA).

Counseling Services

Counseling is a professional, collaborative partnership between the counselor and the individual. Our counselors will help you identify your goals and work towards potential solutions to problems that may be causing emotional stress or strain on your everyday life. They will seek to improve coping skills and communication efforts while strengthening self-esteem and promoting behavioral changes for optimal mental health balance.
