Are you or a loved one struggling with addiction? At Ocean Hills Recovery, we understand the complex nature of addiction and its impact on mental health. We are dedicated to providing the highest level of care and support for individuals facing addiction and dual-diagnosis challenges. In this article, we will highlight our comprehensive approach to medication safety, focusing on the risks of medication misuse and overdose prevention.
Our Commitment to Medication Safety
At Ocean Hills Recovery, we prioritize patient safety above all else. We recognize that individuals with addiction often require medications as part of their treatment plan. However, we are acutely aware of the risks associated with medication misuse and overdose. Our comprehensive approach to medication safety is designed to mitigate these risks and ensure the well-being of our patients.
Understanding Dual-Diagnosis Addiction
Dual-diagnosis addiction refers to the co-occurrence of substance abuse or addiction and a mental health disorder. This complex interplay between addiction and mental health issues requires specialized care and treatment. Our team of experienced professionals is trained to address both aspects of dual diagnosis, providing a holistic approach to recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Ocean Hills Recovery offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as part of our dual-diagnosis addiction recovery program. MAT involves the use of FDA-approved medications, under strict medical supervision, to help individuals manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms. MAT can be a vital component of recovery, but it must be administered with caution to prevent misuse.
