Opioid and cocaine addiction arise from their potent effects on the brain?s reward system, leading to severe dependency and health issues. We are treating these addictions with a comprehensive approach. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction includes medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms whereas cocaine addiction, while lacking FDA-approved medications, benefits from behavioral therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and contingency management.
