About Alliance Medical Services Inc
The rehabilitation center provides a targeted route for opioid addiction recovery using medication-assisted treatment (MAT) along with treatments supported by research. Operating as an outpatient facility, it delivers community-oriented programs and creates individualized plans based on each person’s needs. The center also offers specialized care for pregnant patients and includes family and group counseling to reinforce every step toward long-term change.
Dedicated opioid addiction services are available through general outpatient (OP) and office-based opiate treatment (OBOT). Each client receives coordinated support that adjusts as their progress develops. The program includes one-on-one counseling focused on the individual, life skills education, and complementary approaches such as mindfulness and meditation groups, as well as art therapy to support overall recovery. Telehealth is also available, including virtual intake appointments for Suboxone patients, helping extend knowledgeable care beyond the clinic. In addition, case management and off-site 12-step meetings provide ongoing guidance that supports patients during early recovery and helps lower the risk of overdose.
