About Pathway Healthcare
Located in the Trussville/East Birmingham area, Pathway Healthcare offers outpatient services for individuals dealing with substance use disorders and mental health challenges, available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Many clients appreciate the convenience of appointments on the same day, virtual visits, and a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, and licensed therapists.
The center’s MATPlus model integrates clinical care with therapeutic support to strengthen both mental and physical well-being. Depending on each person’s needs, prescribers may recommend medications such as buprenorphine or naltrexone to help lessen cravings, or Spravato for depression, while clients participate in evidence-based therapy. Sessions include both one-on-one and group treatment aimed at improving coping skills, managing emotions, and reducing the likelihood of relapse. By pairing medication management with counseling, the program works to target underlying factors behind addiction and mental health symptoms.
