Shoreline BHS has partnered with local medical practices to offer Shoreline clients access to primary healthcare and evidence-based Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services. This treatment approach has been shown to:
- Improve birth outcomes among women with substance use disorders while pregnant
- Decrease opiate/opioid use and overdose deaths
- Increase retention in, and satisfaction with, treatment
- Improve well-being through effective management of withdrawal symptoms
These medical practices offer two FDA approved drugs for opioid treatment — Suboxone and Vivitrol — and are proven safe and effective, usually combined with counseling and other behavioral intervention strategies. These treatment options show promise in treating addiction by reducing overall drug cravings and managing withdrawal symptoms.
At Shoreline, we provide comprehensive, confidential services to provide clients with the best treatment services and the ability to live a self-directed life on the road to recovery. We provide an environment that builds on existing strengths, while giving clients the confidence to manage substance use disorders and/or other healthcare issues.
If you are considering Medication Assisted Treatment, please call Shoreline at: (843) 365-8884 or visit our facility during open access hours M-W from 10am-2pm and Fridays from 9:00am-12:30pm, no appointment necessary. Our staff will work with you to determine if Medication Assisted Treatment will work for you.
