Specialized Care

At Encore Outpatient Services, we recognize that each person’s recovery journey is shaped by their unique medical, psychological, and social histories. Our specialized care services are designed to meet each patient’s complex needs with focused, evidence-based treatment interventions. These services work alongside our core programming to enhance treatment effectiveness and support long-term recovery.

MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, allowing you to focus on your healing journey with greater comfort and stability.

When combined with comprehensive counseling and support services, MAT helps reduce drug use by up to 90% compared to those not receiving treatment. Perhaps most importantly, this evidence-based approach cuts the risk of overdose by half or more, creating a stronger foundation for lasting recovery.

Our experienced medical team works closely with you to determine if MAT is appropriate for your needs. We carefully develop and monitor your treatment plan, adjusting it as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Our program utilizes proven medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and other FDA-approved options, carefully selected based on your specific needs and circumstances. These medications are administered under strict medical supervision, with regular monitoring to ensure your safety and optimize your treatment outcomes.

Research shows that 70% of adults have experienced at least one traumatic event, and many struggle with ongoing effects such as anxiety, depression, intrusive memories, or difficulty in relationships. Often, they turn to alcohol and drugs to cope with traumatic experiences, creating a cycle that requires specialized care to address both challenges simultaneously.

Encore’s trauma-informed approach recognizes that trauma affects each person differently. We create a safe, supportive environment and an integrated treatment plan designed for your needs. Our trauma-informed care includes:

• Comprehensive trauma screening and assessment
• Evidence-based trauma therapies, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
• Somatic experiencing for body-based healing
• Creative expression through art and music therapy
• Advanced mindfulness and meditation practices
• Therapeutic yoga and movement therapies
• Specialized breathwork and relaxation techniques

Our facility is designed for trauma survivors with private spaces for reflection, quiet rooms for grounding exercises, and a layout that ensures you always have choice and control over your surroundings.

Encore’s treatment programs address the complex interplay of biological, social, and cultural factors that impact your health and recovery. Research shows that women who receive gender-specific treatment are significantly more likely to complete their programs and maintain long-term recovery.

Our comprehensive approach for women entering treatment includes:

• Integrated trauma-informed therapy and specialized support groups, recognizing that up to 80% of women seeking addiction treatment report histories of physical or sexual abuse
• A safe, nurturing environment
• Treatment for co-occurring disorders, particularly depression, anxiety, and PTSD
• Special attention to your health considerations, including reproductive health, pregnancy, postpartum care, and hormonal influences on recovery
• Flexible scheduling to accommodate your responsibilities as a professional, a parent, and a caregiver for others

Addressing gender-specific triggers and societal pressures that can impact your recovery

Many men struggle to seek help because society tells them to “stay strong” and handle problems alone. We’ve created a treatment environment that understands the pressures while gently challenging unhelpful beliefs that can block recovery. Our treatment programs can help you develop emotional awareness and healthy coping skills in a space free from judgment or shame.

Our comprehensive approach for men entering treatment includes:

• Integrated treatment that addresses triggers and stressors, such as career pressure, relationship challenges, and unresolved trauma
• Practical tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and healthy communication
• Flexible scheduling to accommodate work schedules and family responsibilities

Tools for a sustainable recovery, including career guidance, parenting skills, and strategies for balancing recovery with life’s demands.

Encore provides specialized care to address the unique needs of LGBTQ+ individuals in recovery. Our affirming care approach creates a safe, inclusive environment where you can focus on recovery without fear of judgment or discrimination. Our therapists are specifically trained in LGBTQ+ cultural competency and understand how these factors influence addiction, mental health, and recovery.

Encore’s support:

• Recognizes the complex challenges many LGBTQ+ individuals face, including minority stress, family dynamics, and systemic barriers to care
• Integrates discussions about gender identity, sexual orientation, and personal empowerment

For our transgender and nonbinary patients, we coordinate care with gender-affirming healthcare providers to ensure all aspects of your treatment work together seamlessly.
