Mind
Care can address trauma, coping, emotional regulation, resilience, and co-occurring mental-health concerns through individualized support and coordination with appropriate behavioral-health services.
Our approach
Recovery is more than one medication, one visit, or one decision.
BBAMS approaches substance use disorder as a chronic medical condition that affects the whole person. Care is individualized around physical health, mental and emotional well-being, relationships, lived experience, purpose, and the supports that help recovery last.
The Six Pillars
Six connected parts of whole-person care.
No single pillar stands alone. The mix of support is shaped around each person’s needs, goals, health, and circumstances.
Body
Assessment considers withdrawal, pain, nutrition, medical complications, infectious-disease risk, medication treatment, and the coordination needed to support physical health.
Spirit
Recovery may be strengthened by purpose, meaning, hope, connection, compassion, values, and belonging. No religious or spiritual practice is required as a condition of care.
Medication treatment
Medication treatment, sometimes described as MAT or MOUD, may reduce withdrawal and cravings, lower risk, support stability, and help people remain engaged in care when clinically appropriate.
Peer support
Certified Clinical Peer Support Specialists bring lived experience, help reduce fear and stigma, make care easier to navigate, support practical next steps, and model hope in recovery.
Community
Family, social support, culture, belonging, local resources, and recovery environments can support continuity beyond the clinic. Care should respect the identity, culture, family, spirituality, relationships, and community context that matter to each person.
Care is individualized.
Not every person needs every service. Assessment helps clarify priorities, appropriate options, and the level of support that fits the moment.
Medication is one part of care.
Medication may be continued as long as it remains clinically appropriate. Tapering is not presented as the default goal of successful treatment.
