In the best of circumstances, ending opioid or alcohol addiction is a difficult, painful process. In the most challenging of circumstances, the addictions are almost impossible to overcome. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is often a critical tool that, when combined with therapy and other supports, can help a person enter into and maintain recovery. If you or someone you know might benefit from Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

What Is Medication Assisted Treatment and How Does It Work?

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven, effective treatment that helps individuals with substance use disorders sustain recovery by combining pharmaceutical and behavioral therapies to address the biological and psychological effects of addiction. In MAT, clients receive medication, sometimes daily or monthly, that curbs cravings and the body’s need for opioids or alcohol. For many, it reduces:

• Relapse, compared to abstinence-only (“going cold turkey”)

• Cravings

• Anxiety

• Sleep disturbances

Our MAT team and treatment facility, comprised of Medical Doctors and Advanced Nurse Practitioners, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, licensed social workers, medical assistants, and recovery support workers, structures treatment to meet the patient’s needs or goals. We utilize various methods to help our clients achieve recovery and ensure long-term access.

To facilitate better treatment outcomes, patients may be encouraged to pursue other treatments, such as:

• Residential rehab treatment  

• Outpatient counseling or behavioral therapy 

• Intensive Outpatient treatment 

Patients in these programs have access to MAT.

Our Treatment Medications

• Suboxone. This medication is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. It helps manage opioid dependence by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms and allows for a more manageable and effective recovery process.

• Subutex. Predominantly containing buprenorphine, Subutex is utilized in the early stages of opioid addiction treatment. It acts on the same receptors as opioids, reduces cravings, and relieves withdrawal symptoms without producing the same high.

• Vivitrol. Administered as a monthly injection, Vivitrol contains naltrexone, which blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of drugs like opioids and alcohol. It is used to prevent relapse after opioid detoxification and to treat alcohol dependence.

• Subclade. Sublocade is an extended-release form of buprenorphine, delivered through a monthly injection. It provides a consistent release of medication, aiding in the treatment of opioid use disorder by maintaining steady medication levels, thus preventing cravings and facilitating sustained recovery.

Substance use disorder is hard on mothers and expectant mothers, who face not only great stigma and high rates of postpartum depression, but who also live in fear of losing their children. As a single mom, especially, it can be hard to find the time, childcare, and transportation to get help.

The Cynthia Day Family Center for pregnant and parenting women offers a unique set of services, including specialized residential and outpatient treatment programs designed to meet the recovery needs of pregnant, parenting, and post-partum women and their young children. Services help women enter recovery, become self-sufficient, and care for their families. Please contact us for a confidential, over-the-phone assessment to help you determine what path towards recovery is the best way forward, based on your unique needs.

How It Works

Cynthia Day is well-known in New Hampshire for her dedication to substance use treatment. Named in her honor, the Cynthia Day Family Center (CDFC) provides a holistic, family-centered treatment approach for women with a substance use disorder while allowing them to care for their young children.

In our high-intensity residential programming, women and their children live on-site. There, mothers receive clinically-intensive rehab treatment in a secure, home-like environment and learn to better care for themselves and their new families. Our outpatient programming offers intensive outpatient services as well as individualized treatments. These include one-on-one and family counseling, as well as other services. Outpatient services are integrated with women’s health and pediatrics primary care services, oral health care services, psychiatry, and mental health care. 

The CDFC attends to all levels of recovery. Our facility is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and is staffed by licensed clinical professionals. Our substance use disorder treatment services are gender-specific, evidence-based, and clinically intensive.

What Is Rehab Treatment?

Rehabilitation treatment, commonly known as rehab, is a specialized program designed to help individuals overcome substance abuse and addiction. It is a structured process that combines various therapeutic modalities to address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of addiction. Rehab aims to provide individuals with the tools and skills they need to achieve long-term recovery and improve their quality of life.

Who Needs Rehab Treatment?

• Individuals Struggling With Substance Abuse. Rehab treatment is essential for those who are addicted to drugs or alcohol and need professional help to overcome their dependency and regain control of their lives.

• Individuals With Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders. People with both substance abuse issues and mental health disorders, such as depression or anxiety, require specialized treatment in a rehab setting to address both conditions simultaneously.

• Those Who Have Attempted to Quit Unsuccessfully. Suppose someone has tried to quit using drugs or alcohol on their own but has been unsuccessful or experienced relapses. In that case, rehab treatment provides a structured environment and comprehensive support to increase their chances of success.

• Individuals With Worsening Physical or Mental Health. When substance abuse starts impacting an individual's physical health, such as causing organ damage or cognitive impairments, rehab treatment can help address these specific issues and restore overall well-being.

• People in Destructive or Dangerous Environments. Suppose someone is surrounded by negative influences, enabling individuals, or living in an environment that encourages substance abuse. In that case, rehab provides the opportunity to remove themselves from these situations and develop healthier coping strategies.

Recovery from substance abuse is often a lifelong process, and it helps to have a community of support. Harbor Care has helped guide the growth of Peer Recovery Support Services throughout New Hampshire’s Recovery Community Organizations. Visit NH Recovery Hub to find services in your area. 

How They Work 

People entering recovery often need to significantly change their lives—from how they have fun to how they maintain recovery. Peer Recovery Support Services offers both the community and services people need to stay healthy. Supports include:

• Recovery coaching

• Telephone support services

• Groups

• Treatment service navigation and connection

• Education

• Recreational and wellness activities (e.g., yoga, art, music, etc.)

While Harbor Care does not run these organizations, we continue to help them grow through technical assistance and capacity building, acting as a business incubator and passing through millions of dollars in state funding to the Recovery Community Centers that subcontract with us. They are a key part of NH’s Resilience and Recovery Oriented System of Care, and essential to the lifelong recovery of many in New Hampshire.

Qualifications & Cost

Individual recovery centers have their own policies, but none charge for services.

Drug Courts offer an alternative to prison sentencing for drug-related offenses. Rather than prison time, participants get substance abuse treatment and additional supports in a supervised manner. The program is extremely effective, and provides the rehabilitation services clients need to get well. 

How It Works

In partnership with the NH Department of Justice, Harbor Care and Keystone Hall work with the Rockingham County Drug Court to provide treatment services that are appropriate for clients and that comply with court orders.

New Hampshire’s Drug Courts redirect individuals from the prison system to treatment services. Under the supervision of a judge and parole officer, participants meet recovery workers, while they live and work in the community. Connected with their families and others supports, participants are much more capable of sustaining life-long recovery. 

Given the expense of prison, Drug Courts are seen not only as a compassionate alternative, but a cost-effective one as well. Over the last decade, nearly every county of New Hampshire has adopted a drug court program. 

Location

Services are typically provided in Rockingham County.

Qualifications & Cost

The Rockingham Drug Court Program serves individuals sentenced to that program. It does not cost anything for participants. For further information, call Harbor Care Health & Wellness Center at 603-821-7788.
