After the first phone call, we schedule a medical evaluation, chemical dependency assessment, and psychiatric evaluation. The patient is then assigned to a treatment team. The date of induction is then scheduled.

During the final phase of treatment, patients attend a weekly aftercare program. Patients will also continue attending four community-based, self-help groups every week. Medications will be prescribed on a bi-weekly basis and the patient will need monthly urine screens. The patient and treatment team will work together to determine continuing services needed.

Induction will occur on a Monday. During the week of induction, the patient will be at Signature Health from 9:00am - 3:00pm, Monday through Friday. From 9:00am - 12:00pm, the patient is then monitored for medication tolerance. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is then offered from 12:00pm - 3:00pm. Suboxone is administered daily during this time. Urine screens will also be required throughout the week.

Patients will attend either daytime (12:00pm - 3:00pm) or evening (6:00pm - 9:00pm) IOP sessions three days per week. As well as IOP, patients will meet with their physician once per week. Patients will also be required to attend at least four community self-help groups to maintain their sobriety. Once stable, the treatment team will determine if Suboxone should be used on a bi-weekly basis.
