Addiction Services

Opiate overdose is a leading cause of death in America in people aged 20 to 40. MedNOW Clinics recommends ARCH Detox to provide comprehensive services to treat addiction to opioids, which includes prescription drug overuse/abuse and heroin use/abuse. Dr. Moore is a certified Suboxone provider and has been since 2013. Dr. Saproo, Whitney Grant and Sandra Bemski are also certified Suboxone providers.

Treatment of opiate addiction in our program may include the use of Suboxone, Zubsolv, Probuphine, Sublocade and other forms of buprenorphine, as well as the use of other medications to treat withdrawals and cravings, such as clonidine, ondansetron (Zofran), trazodone, hydroxyzine, gabapentin and naltrexone. The Coleman Institute provides effective protocols for each of the programs that ARCH Detox offers. 

ARCH Detox offers the newest form of buprenorphine, the implantable Probuphine medication, which is implanted under the skin and will provide buprenorphine for a continuous six month period, as well as the buprenorphine monthly injection known as Sublocade. Dr. Moore also has extensive knowledge in the use of oral naltrexone, naltrexone implants and intramuscular monthly Vivitrol for ongoing suppression of opiate cravings. 

Dr. Moore subscribes to a harm reduction model of treating most alcohol use disorders. Twelve step programs, abstinence, intensive out-patient and in-patient rehab facilities also benefit patients, and we are happy to assist patients find programs in the Denver/Aurora area. Dr. Moore will also provide medical support for patients interested in 12 Step programs. 

The overwhelming majority of evidence-based research demonstrates that for most people, medical treatment with medications combined with intensive counseling is the most effective way to treat alcohol addiction. Our program incorporates the use of medications such as naltrexone, Campral, gabapentin and baclofen, medications that have proven results in reducing alcohol use. In combination with ongoing psychological counseling, our program will give a patient the best chances of recovery.

At MedNOW we believe that cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational enhancement therapy, along with medically-supervised prescription medication will provide you with the tools you need to control drinking alcohol. MedNOW works with several psychologists and therapists in the Denver metro area.

There are several web-based resources for patients suffering from alcohol overuse. Many of these resources have tools that have been well-studied and have been found to be effective in controlled trials.
