Medication Management

Medication management involves the use of medicines in combination with counseling and therapy to address substance use disorders. It can be particularly effective for opioid and alcohol addiction, by controlling cravings. Many dual-diagnosis patients can also benefit from medication management for psychiatric symptoms as well. 

The Living Room at Princeton recognizes medication management as one of many tools that may play a part in the bespoke addiction treatment plans we craft for every client. Our programs combine evidence-based therapies with medications when appropriate, providing a comprehensive approach to overcoming addiction.

• Prior attempts at sobriety have been especially challenging.
• Long-term substance use has led to physical dependence.
• Co-occurring mental health symptoms call for relief.
• Cravings and withdrawal symptoms present an obstacle to recovery.

Engaging in our medication management treatment programs offers numerous advantages that support recovery:

• Stabilization: Medications help stabilize people by mitigating cravings and minimizing the physical discomfort of withdrawal.
• Improved Engagement: The relief from withdrawal symptoms allows individuals to engage more effectively in therapy and counseling.
• Relapse Prevention: MAT reduces the risk of relapse by minimizing cravings and addressing the physical aspects of addiction.
• Holistic Healing: Combining medications with therapy offers a holistic approach that supports both physical and psychological well-being.
