The Robin Foundation understands the stigmas that still surround mental illness and addiction and how it can make the recovery process stall out before it even begins. But we also believe education is a powerful tool in changing those perceptions.
That’s why we’re supportive of a medication assisted recovery approach as an option for some individuals.
This approach uses FDA-approved medications to help individuals manage their substance use disorder. It combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction.
Evidence-based approach
Studies show the use of FDA-approved medications to treat substance abuse can be effective in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, improving overall health outcomes, and reducing the risk of relapse.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction treatment. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and goals, and will take into account factors like the type of substance you are using, your medical history, and your personal preferences.
The medications have been shown to be safe and effective when used as directed. Like any medication, there are potential side effects to be aware of, but these can be managed with proper medical supervision.
Medication assisted recovery is not a quick fix
However, it’s also important to note that medication alone is not a cure for addiction, as it requires ongoing commitment and effort. At the Robin Foundation, we’re committed to providing education and support to those who are seeking help for their addictions through medication. We offer resources and information on the different medications used in this approach, as well as tips for finding a healthcare provider who can help you navigate this treatment option.
In addition, we offer a range of other resources and services to support addiction recovery, including Narcan distribution and training, harm reduction education, and support groups for individuals and families affected by addiction.
We understand that addiction is a complex and challenging condition, and we’re here to help. If you or someone you love is struggling with substance use, we encourage you to reach out to us and explore the different treatment options that are available.
Medication assisted recovery is a treatment approach that can be an effective tool in the fight against addiction. At the Robin Foundation, we believe recovery is possible for everyone, and this is just one of your options. Connect with us when you or your loved one is ready to start this life-changing journey.
