Our Approach

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment, combined with counseling & behavioral therapies, is a "whole-patient" approach to treatment.

Opioid Abuse Treatment

We make use of prescription medication as part of the greater continuum of care to help people addicted to opioids.

Alcohol Abuse Treatment

We administer a once-monthly treatment to help prevent relapse among patients working towards sobriety.

We at Vida Medica make use of Medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is the use of medications, combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorders and prevent opioid overdose. Through these therapies, and coupled with our belief that every patient deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, we are able to take a "whole-patient" approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.

Your first visit

A first-time visit fee is collected, which covers all office visits for the first month of treatment. Subsequent visits are charged on a per-visit basis.
