Taking the first step toward change can be scary. But we're here for you.

Before beginning treatment at Chase Brexton, you will have a one-on-one peer intake with a certified peer recovery specialist (CPRS) to discuss your wellness goals. Next you will complete a one-on-one initial assessment with a behavioral health therapist. During these meetings, you will discuss your experiences, your goals, and your needs. With the help of your CPRS and therapist, you will then decide the best plan of care to get you where you want to be. Together, you will agree on the next best step for you.

The Chase Brexton difference is in our vital support: PRISM (Partners in Recovery: Individualized Support & Motivation)

You aren’t alone on your journey. From the first day, you will be supported by our Certified Peer Recovery Specialists (CPRS) through our PRISM program.

In addition to helping you find the right substance use treatment option, your Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) will meet with you weekly to talk about your needs, your struggles, your relationships, and your recovery.

CPRS’s have been where you are – they have dealt with mental wellness and substance use, and have been in recovery. They will serve as your cheerleader, care navigator, coach, and shoulder to lean on. They will share with you the knowledge, skills, and experience that come from having “been there,” to help you work toward meaningful recovery from substance use and to improve your emotional wellness.

Chase Brexton's Substance Use team will find a treatment option to meet your needs. Take a look at some of our treatment options

Medications for Substance Use Disorders: Medication support to promote and support wellness in recovery for opioids and alcohol

Medications for Substance Use Disorders (MSUD) are intended to treat anyone who wants to reduce or stop using alcohol or opioids (like Percocet, Oxycontin, heroin, or fentanyl).

Medications we use to reduce opioid cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and risk of overdose include buprenorphine (e.g. Zubsolv, Suboxone, Subutex) or naltrexone (Vivitrol).

Medications we use to reduce binge drinking, alcohol cravings, and alcohol use include naltrexone (Vivitrol) and acamprosate (Camprol).

Any Chase Brexton primary care patient can receive MSUD. This treatment is available to anyone at any stage in their substance use recovery journey. Chase Brexton’s primary care providers will work with you to find the best medication assistance for your needs.

If you are new to MSUD treatment, we can start you on the right medications. We can also provide medication management if you are currently stable on a substance use treatment medication. To begin:

Program to Enhance Recovery: Traditional Outpatient Program that focuses on harm reduction to achieve improved relationships with substance use and emotional wellness

Substance use started for some reason and understanding why you started can give you power in your recovery. Joining with others seeking a new relationship with substances, you will be a part of a supportive and interactive group focused on understanding the "why" behind your addictive behaviors.

As you learn more about what may motivate you to use, the program will help you develop coping skills and strategies to change these behaviors.

STEP Clinic @ Mt. Vernon & Security Square Centers

The STEP Clinic is a weekly medical and peer services clinic designed to provide both medical care and peer assistance to help manage recovery from opiates or alcohol use (Mt. Vernon only).

Each appointment includes a brief physical exam and medication management discussion with a medical provider and Certified Peer Recovery Specialist who specialize in medication for substance use treatment and will provide support on your treatment journey.
