R&D Center: Addiction Recovery & Life Development

Opioid Addiction Treatment in Media, PA

For a lot of people, opioids started with a prescription after surgery or an injury. Whether your use began at a pharmacy counter or somewhere else, what matters now is where it is heading, and that is something you can change with the right support.

Is it time to talk to someone?

  • Taking more than prescribed, or sooner than you meant to
  • Running out early, or worrying a lot about running out
  • Aches, nausea, chills or restlessness between doses
  • Nodding off, or losing hours you cannot account for
  • Money, work or relationships strained around use
  • You have tried to stop and withdrawal pulled you back

Opioid use disorder responds to treatment, and medication is part of how it responds. Combined with counseling and steady structure, people on medication stay in care longer and are far less likely to return to use.

Medication and outpatient care

Medication changes the odds. Support keeps you there.

Medications such as buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone are considered the standard of care for opioid use disorder. Whether medication is part of your plan is a decision you make with a prescriber, and our programs are built to work alongside it.

  1. 1. We start with an assessment

    A confidential conversation about your use, your health, any past withdrawal and what recovery has looked like before.

  2. 2. We coordinate medication support

    If medication is right for you, we discuss the options with you and coordinate with prescribers so care starts on solid footing.

  3. 3. We build what comes after

    PHP or IOP with case management, therapy and aftercare planning, so progress does not stop when the program day ends.

Real care. A life beyond treatment.

Opioid recovery asks a lot of your body and your schedule at the same time. Two levels of outpatient care let us match the support to where you are today.

PHP

Partial Hospitalization Program

A more supported start. Full days of structure, therapy and medical coordination for the early stretch of opioid recovery, when cravings and withdrawal risk run highest.

A higher level of daily supportExplore programs
IOP

Intensive Outpatient Program

Meaningful progress, alongside everyday life. Steady support that fits around work and family while therapy and any medication do their work.

Support alongside your everyday lifeExplore programs

A week in the program

Opioid recovery is built on routine: showing up, talking honestly and taking the next right step. Here is what a week of that work looks like.

Individual therapy

One-on-one work with a primary therapist on cravings, triggers, mood and whatever life keeps throwing at you.

Group therapy

Small groups with people who get it. Honest conversation, shared strategies and skills you will actually use.

Medication support

When medication is part of your plan, we coordinate with prescribers so your therapy and medication pull in the same direction.

Case management and aftercare

Practical help with the things that destabilize recovery: insurance questions, scheduling, work, school and the step down to less intensive care.

Pain, depression and opioids often show up together.

Many people start using opioids to quiet physical or emotional pain, and both kinds of pain can stay long after the pills are gone. We treat substance use and mental health together, in one plan, at either of our Media locations.

Questions people ask about opioid treatment

Can I start treatment if I'm already on buprenorphine or methadone?

Yes. Many people come to us already taking medication for opioid use disorder, and we build therapy and structure around it. If you are not on medication and want to talk about it, that conversation happens with a prescriber.

Do I have to be off opioids before I start?

No. You can begin treatment while you are still using. Part of the first step is a safe, honest assessment of where you are, and any medical care you need comes first.

What is medication-assisted treatment?

It is the use of medications such as buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone alongside counseling. It is considered the standard of care for opioid use disorder, and decisions about it are made with you.

What if I need a higher level of care?

If daily medical support or residential treatment would serve you better, we will tell you plainly and help coordinate the referral.

Is relapse a failure?

It can be part of recovery, and it is not a moral failing. If it happens, we adjust the plan rather than giving up on you.
