A PATH TO LASTING RECOVERY
Your Path to Recovery Starts Here
Taking the first step toward recovery is courageous. At Ibis Healthcare's Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program, we understand that addiction is a medical condition—not a moral failing. Our compassionate team is here to support you through every stage of your recovery journey with proven treatment that works.
A Comprehensive Approach to Healing
Recovery is about more than just stopping drug use, it's about rebuilding your life. Our MAT program combines FDA-approved medications (Methadone or Subutex) with counseling, support services, and medical care to give you the best chance at lasting recovery.
Our philosophy is simple: We believe recovery is possible for everyone. We recognize that addiction is an illness, and we're here to provide help for you and your family as you navigate the path to wellness. Recovery is a lifelong journey, and we'll walk alongside you every step of the way.
What Makes Our Program Different
Medical Excellence
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment by our medical team. Our licensed physicians and nurse practitioners will work with you to determine the right medication and dosage for your individual needs, monitoring your progress and adjusting your treatment as you heal.
Compassionate Counseling
Regular one-on-one counseling sessions with trained addiction specialists provide a safe space to address the challenges of recovery. We'll help you develop coping strategies, work through underlying issues, and build the life skills you need for long-term success.

Recovery touches every aspect of life. That's why we offer:
- Individual and group counseling

For mothers who need additional support, our Family Treatment Services program provides comprehensive resources to help you and your baby thrive together.
Understanding Medication Assisted Treatment
What is Methadone?
Methadone has been successfully treating opioid addiction since the 1960s. This FDA-approved medication eliminates withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings, allowing you to focus on rebuilding your life. Taken orally once daily, Methadone has a long track record of safety and effectiveness when used as prescribed.
What is Subutex?
Subutex (buprenorphine) is another FDA-approved medication for opioid addiction treatment. It works by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, helping you stabilize as you work toward recovery.
The goal of medication-assisted treatment is simple: to prevent withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and help you regain control of your life whether that means returning to work, reconnecting with family, or pursuing education and personal growth.
Your Treatment Journey
Getting Started
Beginning treatment is easier than you might think. Our welcoming team will guide you through:
- Initial Assessment - A comprehensive evaluation to understand your unique needs and create your personalized treatment plan
- Medical Evaluation - A complete physical exam to ensure safe, effective treatment
- Counseling Match - Connection with a primary counselor who will support you throughout your journey
Building Toward Independence
As you progress in treatment and demonstrate stability, you'll earn increased take-home medication privileges. This graduated system rewards your commitment to recovery and helps you transition back to independent living while maintaining the support you need.
Most patients remain in treatment for at least a year—and often longer. There's no rush. Everyone's recovery timeline is unique, and we'll support you for as long as you need us.
