About Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Cravings can pull hard, especially in the first weeks after you stop using. Medication-assisted treatment at Skilton Institute pairs FDA-approved medications with regular counseling, so the physical urges are managed while you or your loved one build the skills recovery depends on.
Care starts with a comprehensive assessment on admission. Clinical staff review your history, health, and goals, then shape a personalized treatment plan around what they find. A dedicated case manager stays with you throughout, coordinating your medication schedule, therapy sessions, and communication with family.
That same case manager helps connect the pieces as you move toward aftercare, so support does not stop when structured treatment ends. It keeps the plan steady and the focus forward.
Insurance & Admissions
A quick call is all it takes to find out what your plan covers. We work with most private insurance, and verifying your benefits usually takes just a few minutes. From there, getting started is one conversation. If you or your loved one lives outside the area, we can help with travel and flights so arrival is one less thing to worry about.
