BHG’S Patient-Centered Treatment program uses a two-pronged approach to address the medical and behavioral aspects of Opioid Addiction. This Medication Assisted treatment(MAT) uses drugs such as Methadone and Buprenorphine to address a patient’s physical dependence on Opioids, and team based behavioral counseling to address a patient’s psychological dependence. Our mission is to build the best-in-class network of Opioid treatment facilities by producing superior patient outcomes. We will accomplish this goal by providing each person who enters our program with a medically based treatment experience, in accordance with our governing bodies, which rehabilitates those aspects of the person which are suffering; builds upon the strengths of that person; protects that person’s rights to privacy, respect, and dignity; and assists in the development of a better quality of life. In doing so, we will improve the lives and communities of those we touch and serve.
