Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. While each has its own unique effect, all of them act on the same receptor in the brain as opioids do. Each medication has been proven to reduce the use of illicit opioids, reduce opioid cravings and stabilize brain chemistry so patients can focus on recovery.

When combined with counseling and ongoing support as part of medication-assisted treatment (MAT), MOUD is the most effective approach for treating opioid use disorder.

Counseling gives you the tools and support to manage stress, address triggers and strengthen relationships. It’s an essential part of recovery that helps you build skills and confidence for long-term success.

The length of outpatient treatment varies based on each patient’s individual needs and goals. Many people benefit from long-term outpatient care, since substance use disorder is a chronic medical condition.

At BHG, your care team works with you to create a personalized recovery plan. This may include treatment lasting weeks, months or ongoing support to maintain stability over time.

BHG accepts Medicaid, Medicare, most commercial insurance plans, self-pay options and grant funding where available. Coverage varies by state and treatment center.

Patients are encouraged to confirm benefits with their local center, use the interactive insurance finder or call 844-535-7291. Our staff can explain coverage options and help you understand costs before starting treatment.
