Addiction Treatment Services at AMA Clinic

  1. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT is an effective approach for treating opioid and alcohol dependence. It combines FDA-approved medications with counseling, which helps alleviate withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings. Our MAT program includes:

  • Buprenorphine and Methadone for opioid dependence, helping to stabilize and support recovery.

  • Naltrexone for both alcohol and opioid addiction, which blocks the effects of these substances and reduces cravings.

  • Acamprosate and Disulfiram for alcohol dependence, aiding in reducing the urge to drink.


  1. Counseling and Behavioral Therapy

Therapy is essential for addressing the psychological aspects of addiction. At AMA Clinic, we provide both individual and group therapy sessions tailored to each patient’s needs. Our counseling services include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Helps patients recognize and change harmful thoughts and behaviors associated with substance use.

  • Motivational Interviewing: Encourages patients to build motivation and set achievable goals for recovery.

  • Group therapy: Provides peer support, allowing patients to connect with others who are on a similar journey.


  1. Mental Health Support

Many patients with substance use disorders also experience mental health challenges. Our dual-diagnosis approach addresses both addiction and mental health conditions, offering:

  • Psychiatric evaluations: Comprehensive assessments to diagnose any co-occurring mental health conditions.

  • Therapy for mental health: Includes treatments for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other conditions that may contribute to substance use.

  • Medication management: For patients with mental health needs, we provide carefully monitored medication plans.
