Assessment

We create a detailed profile by gathering and thoroughly assessing your background and history, designing a treatment plan that fits your life. Every treatment plan is based on your specific situation, personal and professional relationships, as well as work and home environments.

Plan

Once your assessment is complete, we follow up with a personalized, comprehensive treatment plan designed to help you recover from addiction, while limiting disruptions to your life.

Treatment

We implement your custom, evidence-based Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) plan, combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, based on your schedule, creating transformational change that lasts.

Patients' perspectives

"I had failed several other attempts at "cold turkey" sobriety. I was super nervous when l initially called Dr. Payne's office. His manner and support put me at ease. I'm proud to say l have responded well to treatment and am now over a year in sobriety."
James J.
"Dr. Payne explained safeguards in place to protect anonymity his office offers in terms of identity and treatment. As a prominent member of the community, this protection is very valuable to me."

Frequently asked questions

In order to be compliant with state and federal laws, new patients being induced will need weekly appointments for one month and then three visits in the second month. After that, if recovery is going well, appointments will be based on your schedule and regulatory requirements. Transfer patients may have a different schedule.

The first visit includes a comprehensive physical exam, paperwork and an evaluation to determine if the program is right for you. If our recovery program is a good fit, we proceed with the “induction” phase of recovery. Total office time can be about 1-2 hours on this visit.

Do not use any opioids (pain pills, heroin, etc.) within 24 hours of your appointment, or you risk getting very sick with treatment.

People using opioids already deal with enough judgment and stigma. Our goal is to keep your treatment anonymous and confidential, at work and at home. Insurance will often pay for your medications, but not for office visits or counseling sessions.

However, whether insurance pays for medications varies from case to case. We try to identify the safest and least expensive therapy for you, based on your specific situation. Things like out-of-pocket, high-deductible plans all affect what insurance charges and what may be covered.

This is highly individualized. Scientific data supports that it takes approximately 18 months for your brain to rewire and heal from chronic opioid use. However, that time frame only addresses the physical component, not the spiritual and emotional components of addiction. Some people need less time, some need more.

Many people get nervous as their medication is tapered. Relapse prevention includes strategies to help you avoid—you guessed it—relapse, or prevent a momentary lapse in judgment from becoming a major setback. Antabuse, naloxone, and vivitrol are all medications that assist behavioral modifications in this phase.

We are one of the few Board-Certified medication-assisted treatment centers in the region. We offer tailored, individualized outpatient treatment in a private, relaxing and therapeutic setting, perfect for working professionals.
