Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder

As part of the largest Joint Commission-accredited outpatient treatment network in the country, the clinic delivers evidence-based care through both opioid treatment program and office-based opioid treatment pathways.

Patients also receive case management and connection with peer recovery specialists who bring lived recovery experience.

Counseling and Whole-Person Recovery Support

Beyond medication, BHG Gadsden offers counseling alongside wraparound services for special populations including pregnant and postpartum women, veterans, LGBTQ clients, and those with co-occurring pain conditions or HIV/AIDS. Peer support and health assessments round out a model designed to address the full picture of recovery.
