At Partners, we believe that opioid, alcohol, and substance dependency is a chronic disease not unlike diabetes and asthma. Chronic disease is best treated through harm reduction and evidence-based treatment methods. Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies and ideas aimed at reducing negative consequences associated with substance use. Harm reduction incorporates a spectrum of strategies ranging from safer use, to managed use, to abstinence to meet our clients ‘where they are at’, addressing conditions of use along with the use itself. Our experienced staff recognizes that the path to recovery is not the same for everyone. Everyone has their own goals and objectives. Therefore, we develop individualized treatment plans that incorporate the client’s vision with best treatment practices as defined in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol for substance use disorder. Some medications commonly prescribed for treating addiction include Buprenorphine, Suboxone, Zubsolv, Naltrexone, Sublocade monthly injection, Vivitrol monthly injection, and other medications.
