Medication Support for Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorders in Arizona
For Opiate and Alcohol Use Disorders
Patients with opiate and/or alcohol use disorders are often prescribed medication by an outside provider, such as a licensed psychiatrist, to minimize risk of relapse and overdose. If such medications have been medically and clinically indicated for an individual wanting to reside at a Legacy Recovery Center home, the Legacy team will coordinate with the outside provider to develop an individual treatment plan and ensure assistance with the self-administration of medications for opiate use disorder (MOUD) and/or medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD).

Medication can be one of several tools used in addiction recovery. When medically and clinically indicated, Legacy Recovery Center coordinates with licensed external providers to support access to appropriate medications as part of a comprehensive recovery care plan.
