Addiction Recovery

The CMH Addiction Recovery Program in Bolivar assists in substance use disorder and alcohol recovery. The highly specialized outpatient treatment program leads patients to physical and psychosocial wellness.

Sobriety is not needed to begin most treatments. Addiction recovery services include:

• MAT (medication-assisted treatment)
• Vivitrol (Depot Naltrexone)
• Oral Naltrexone
• Acamprosate (Campral)
• Buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone, Zubsolv)
• Nicotine replacement products
• Counseling
• Individualized therapy
• Cognitive behavioral therapy
• Family support
• Peer support

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

CMH Addiction Recovery utilizes two primary medications, including Vivitrol (Depot Naltrexone) and Oral Naltrexone to curb cravings. They effectively treat alcohol and opioid dependence when used as part of a treatment program that includes counseling and support. We also use Acamprosate (Campral) for alcohol cessation and Buprenorphine (Subutex, Suboxone, Zubsolv) to treat opioid dependence. However, the addiction recovery program does not dispense or prescribe Methadone at this time.

Patients share in the decision-making process involving goals and strategies for change. This addiction program leads patients to physical and psychosocial wellness. The treatment program is available by appointment only.

The initial clinical assessment entails a detailed bio-psycho-social history conducted by a qualified substance abuse counselor. During the one-on-one interview, the counselor helps identify how a person’s major life areas are adversely affected by chemical use. The counselor works with the program physician to develop a case-specific treatment plan based on the individual's needs and strengths.

Board certified physician Kurt Bravata, M.D., orders and evaluates medical assessment, including labs and drug screens. A customized medical treatment plan is established, and patients are seen regularly through the next 12 months.

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) protocol is an evidence-based practice that combines pharmacological interventions with substance abuse counseling and social support. The treatment is not for everyone. However, it is an essential part of the comprehensive services available to people struggling with alcohol or drug addiction.

Patients receive medication to curb cravings in conjunction with an outpatient program designed to promote recovery. The CMH Addiction Recovery Program medical staff are committed to promoting consumer choice and client-centered treatment. We believe that sobriety is much more than staying sober. To that end, our program looks at many important life areas, including:

• Life skills development
• Addiction education
• Physical health and wellness
• Achieving mental health
