About Alliance Medical Services Inc
The center supports people in recovering from opioid use disorder using methadone-assisted treatment, counseling, and behavioral therapies. It is situated near Saw Mill Run Boulevard and provides outpatient care to residents of Mt. Oliver and Brookline. Patients receive individualized treatment plans, specialized programming for pregnant individuals, and family and group counseling to help each person build sustainable recovery.
The center delivers effective opioid addiction treatment through general outpatient (OP) care and office-based opiate treatment (OBOT). These services are tailored to match each patient’s progress and specific needs, using flexible approaches that evolve over time. Care includes individual therapy with a consistent counselor, life skills classes, and wellness-focused supports such as mindfulness and meditation groups, as well as art therapy to promote holistic healing. Telehealth services expand access to high-quality treatment from anywhere, and case management along with off-site 12-step support meetings help ensure patients have the steady guidance and attention needed to move forward confidently.
