Opioid Treatment Programs

BayMark Health Services operates Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) providing
medication-assisted treatment (MAT) across the United States and Canada. These programs offer both methadone and buprenorphine medication-assisted treatment, supported by counseling and recovery services to provide a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment option for opioid use disorder (OUD).

OTPs have been proven to be clinically effective for the treatment of OUD. For more than 50 years, methadone has been considered the gold standard in medication-assisted treatment. In the early 2000’s, buprenorphine, often referred to by the brand name Suboxone, was approved by the FDA for use in treating opioid addiction. Some programs also offer naltrexone, the newest FDA-approved medication for the treatment of opioid addiction.

What are the Benefits of Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs)?

Medication-assisted treatment delivers the support and structure needed by many individuals to overcome opioid addiction, but with more flexibility than inpatient programs and a more gradual approach than abstinence-based programs. Additional benefits of a structured OTP, include:
  • Management of withdrawal symptoms, cravings and obsessive thoughts
  • Decreased rate of relapse through reducing unpleasant physical symptoms
  • Decrease illicit opiate use and involvement in illegal activity
  • Improved health and well-being
  • Improved outcomes for pregnant/ parenting women and their newborns
  • Opportunities to develop a support system for long-term recovery
  • Increase ability to gain and maintain employment

Supportive Recovery Services

While medication and counseling are the essential elements of an opioid treatment program, several additional recovery services are provided to our patients, including:
  • Medical screening & supervision
  • Coordinated treatment for pregnant patients
  • Discharge planning & support
  • Peer support
