This relieves the patient’s withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings, allowing the brain to heal while he or she works toward recovery. Types of Medications Treatment is customized to each patient’s needs using a variety of medication options, including methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone and naloxone. All medications are FDA-approved for treatment of substance use disorders. Proven Benefits Medication-assisted treatment is validated by the American Medical Association, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and others as a first-line treatment for addiction. Research shows it can: Improve patient survival/reduce overdoses Improve the patient’s ability to handle stress Improve the rate of long-term recovery Decrease illicit drug use and other criminal activity among people with substance use disorders Increase patients’ ability to gain and maintain employment Improve birth outcomes for pregnant women who have substance use disorders Get Help Now 730 Ashburton Street Baltimore, MD 21216 410-233-0684 Get Addiction Treatment Make a Patient Referral Donate Now Contact Us ©2019 Tuerk House | Sitemap Employees, clients, and clients’ families may submit reports anonymously to: compliance@tuerkhouse.org, 667-260-4314 or Tuerk House Compliance Officer; 730 Ashburton St, Baltimore, MD 21216 Concerns may also be submitted to the Joint Commission.
