Outpatient Treatment is the most flexible level of care that Tellurian offers. Plans are highly tailored and based on the needs that each patient’s counselor determines for them. Treatment length and schedules depend on a patient’s progress following a mutually-developed treatment plan.
The Tellurian Outpatient Clinic offers both group and individual counseling for visiting patients, including dedicated relapse prevention sessions. Through regular assessments, counselors check in with patients working through mental heath and substance use disorders.
Opioid dependence is a challenging and complicated condition, but it can be successfully treated; Suboxone® is the first prescription medication approved for this under the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000. Suboxone® was developed to decrease the pain and discomfort of withdrawal and to decrease opiate cravings, blocking the effects of drugs like heroin, morphine, Vicodin, Oxycodone, and Oxycontin.
Suboxone® is not a “miracle cure.” Treating opioid dependence takes hard work! Feeling sadness, anxiety, and loneliness along the way is normal, but our team does everything we can to make joy and laughter part of the journey too. The Tellurian Suboxone® Treatment Program follows three distinct phases:
A staff physician and therapist review medical records and psychosocial history during a medical exam and intake process to see if Suboxone® is right for a patient. If the drug is prescribed, dosages are regularly adjusted and intensive group and individual therapy starts.
This phase focuses on continued weekly group and individual counseling. Medication checks occur monthly, and random drug screens will happen.
Monthly individual counseling and group therapy sessions continue as patients learn to rebuild their lives free from addiction.
