Addiction recovery is a multifaceted journey that involves not only treating opioid use disorder (OUD) but also addressing the individual’s overall health. Primary care plays a vital role in addiction recovery, helping individuals maintain their physical well-being while they work through the challenges of overcoming addiction. At ARMOR, we believe that integrating primary care services with addiction treatment is key to achieving long-term recovery.
Why is Primary Care Important During Recovery?
Managing Chronic Health Conditions Many individuals struggling with opioid addiction also have chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or respiratory issues. Unfortunately, addiction can make it difficult to manage these conditions, as health concerns often take a back seat to the immediate need for opioids.
By offering primary care services alongside addiction treatment, ARMOR helps patients manage their chronic health conditions. This holistic approach ensures that patients are not only addressing their addiction but also improving their overall health, leading to a more successful recovery.
Addressing Health Complications from Addiction Long-term opioid use can lead to a range of physical health issues, including respiratory problems, weakened immune systems, and heart complications. Primary care providers are essential in diagnosing and treating these conditions, helping individuals recover both from addiction and the health problems caused by it.
ARMOR’s primary care services include regular check-ups, health screenings, and management of opioid-related health complications, ensuring that patients receive the comprehensive care they need to heal their bodies.
Preventive Care and Health Maintenance Recovery is not just about getting sober—it’s about building a healthier future. Primary care services play a crucial role in helping individuals in recovery maintain their health and prevent future medical issues. From vaccinations to routine wellness checks, preventive care is key to staying healthy during recovery.
At ARMOR, we offer preventive services like vaccinations, health screenings, and nutritional counseling to help our patients stay on the path to wellness.
Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Primary care providers are often the first line of defense in identifying and treating mental health issues that may accompany addiction, such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By integrating mental health support with primary care, ARMOR ensures that patients receive a full range of services to support their emotional and psychological well-being.
Our team includes psychiatric nurse practitioners and mental health professionals who work closely with primary care providers to develop comprehensive treatment plans that address both physical and mental health needs.
