In conjunction with the team of addiction medicine physicians providing medication-assisted treatment in an office-based setting, Summa Health also offers several medications to clinically qualifying patients who desire pharmacological assistance as they progress along the path toward recovery. These medications can help with insomnia, nightmares, anxiety, restlessness and other symptoms that often accompany the early stages of recovery.
