9 ADDITIONAL SERVICES Clearpoint offers a host of outpatient services at our private facility, with daily morning, afternoon, and evening sessions designed to fit the schedules of busy individuals and professionals. MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT Research definitively indicates that many people with addiction benefit from some form of medication to achieve recovery. Medication therapy may increase patient retention in addiction treatment programs and decrease the rate of relapse. When indicated, we use medication in tandem with comprehensive therapy and 12-step facilitation to give our patients the best chance to achieve life-long, sustainable recovery. Vivitrol is the only injectable medication approved by the FDA to treat opioid addiction. Administered monthly, it wards off cravings, alleviates the physical symptoms of withdrawal, and prevents overdose.
