Integrated MAT with Unlimited Therapy

Symetria provides medications for addiction treatment (MAT) such as methadone, Suboxone, and injectable naltrexone alongside unlimited individual therapy sessions. This pairing allows clients to stabilize physically while addressing emotional and behavioral challenges at their own pace. Therapy is grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care.

Whole-Person Mental Health Support

The center is also equipped to treat co-occurring mental health conditions that often accompany addiction. Clients can receive psychiatric care for issues like anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia—all within the same treatment plan. This integrated model helps reduce the need for external referrals and creates continuity of care.

Peer Support and Community Recovery

The clinic supports recovery beyond clinical services. Clients can attend peer-led support groups like AA and NA, access recovery coaching, and participate in ongoing mentoring. These connections can help rebuild social support networks and reduce isolation, especially in early recovery.
