It takes courage to face your opioid addiction, and we’re proud of you for taking the first step at fighting substance use disorder. At Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center and Ashley Clinic, our experienced team of caring and trusted professionals will work together to give you the best possible tools and support to successfully reach your goals through our outpatient Medication-Assisted Treatment program.

MAT involves medication paired with counseling and behavioral therapy.  Research shows that addiction is often accompanied with other health conditions such as PTSD, addition, and anxiety. Our whole-patient approach allows us to treat those as well. 

Suboxone® is a brand name of the medication buprenorphine and is used to treat opioid addiction.  A patient taking Suboxone® feels normal, not high, and their symptoms are reduced because their brain thinks it’s receiving the problem opioid. Only qualified practitioners with the proper training and DEA registration can prescribe Suboxone®. Southeast Kansas Mental Health and Ashley Clinic both have practitioners who are qualified to prescribe Suboxone®.

Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center and Ashley Clinic use Suboxone® as part of an overall Medication-Assisted Treatment program. We customize each treatment plan to the individual's unique needs. In addition to medication, each recovery plan involves a range of behavioral health and treatment options such has cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), group counseling, and more. 

Length of treatment time varies by patient. Some take the medication for 6 months, and other for years. 

M30s or "blues" are prescription opioid which should be stamped with the letter "M" logo on one side and the number 30 on the other side. However, counterfeit M30s look very similar and are often laced with deadly fentanyl. Avoid the risky behavior of buying pills from drug dealers and enroll in Medication-Assisted Treatment, which reduces withdrawal symptoms and leads to long-term recovery. 

Our experienced practitioners will work with you to determine the best pain management options for you.
