ADDICTION MEDICATION MANAGEMENT

Addiction Medication Management in Minnesota & Wisconsin

A SUPPORTIVE APPROACH TO ADDICTION MEDICINE

The Remedy Mental Health provides addiction medication for adults who may benefit from medication-assisted treatment and psychiatric care. Our providers support eligible patients with addiction and co-occurring mental health concerns.

What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment, commonly called MAT, uses medication and ongoing medical care to treat addiction It may help reduce cravings, manage withdrawal-related symptoms, and support recovery.

Who May Benefit from MAT?

Substance use treatment may be helpful if you:

  • Have tried to cut back or stop but have found it difficult
  • Experience cravings or withdrawal symptoms
  • Continue using despite concerns about your health or daily life
  • Use alcohol or opioids to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress
  • Want medication support as part of reducing or stopping substance use
  • Are looking for ongoing outpatient care after completing a higher level of treatment

Medication and ongoing support can make a meaningful difference.Ā 

Co-occurring Mental Health Conditions

Addiction and mental health symptoms often affect one another. Some people use alcohol or other substances to cope with anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep difficulties, or attention-related symptoms. For others, addiction may worsen an existing mental health condition.

Because The Remedy provides both psychiatric medication management and addiction medicine, our providers can evaluate the complete picture and develop a care plan that addresses both concerns when appropriate.

FDA-Approved Addiction Medications

When appropriate, we have a range of FDA-approved medications to pull from, giving our team the ability to tailor treatment to each patient’s unique needs and health conditions.Ā

QUESTIONS ABOUT ADDICTION SERVICES

Does insurance cover addiction medication?

Many insurance plans provide coverage for addiction medicine Coverage depends on your plan, diagnosis, previous treatment history and prior-authorization requirements.

Our team can help review your insurance information and explain the authorization process, but final coverage decisions are made by your insurance company.

Do I need a referral for treatment?

You do not need a referral to schedule with The Remedy. Your insurance plan may still require a referral, prior authorization or documentation of previous treatment.

How do I know whether addiction medication management is appropriate?

Outpatient addiction treatment may be appropriate if you are medically stable, able to safely remain at home, and looking for help with cravings, relapse prevention, medication management, or co-occurring mental health concerns. It allows you to receive ongoing care while continuing to manage work, family, and other daily responsibilities.

A provider will review your substance use, withdrawal risk, physical and mental health, previous treatment, and recovery goals to determine the safest level of care. If you are at risk of severe withdrawal, need medical detoxification, or require 24-hour supervision, an inpatient, residential, or detox program may be more appropriate. The Remedy does not provide detoxification or inpatient treatment at this time.

Does The Remedy provide addiction therapy or counseling?

The Remedy does not currently offer addiction-specific therapy, AODA counseling, or intensive outpatient addiction programs. We do offer psychiatric care and medication management for substance use disorders, including support for alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and nicotine dependence.

Patients may also receive general outpatient therapy for co-occurring mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or stress, depending on provider availability. When addiction-focused counseling or a higher level of care is needed, we may recommend working with an outside provider or specialized treatment program alongside care at The Remedy.
