Positive Pathways is committed to increasing access to substance abuse treatment in Carbon and Emery counties.  We provide Medication Assisted Treatment.

Medicated-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a "whole-patient" approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.

There are three medications commonly used to treat opioid addiction:

• Methadone – clinic-based opioid agonist that does not block other narcotics while preventing withdrawal while taking it; daily liquid dispensed only in specialty regulated clinics.

• Naltrexone – office-based non-addictive opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of other narcotics; daily pill or a monthly injection.

• Buprenorphine – office-based opioid agonist/ antagonist that blocks other narcotics while reducing withdrawal risk; daily dissolving tablet, cheek film, or 6-month implant under the skin. 

Positive Pathways offers Naltrexone and Buprenorphine.  Those clients needing Methadone are referred to Four Corners Behavioral Health/Operation Recovery--the only approved methadone clinic in our area. 

If you can't afford treatment, please call our front desk at 435-299-5003 to see if you qualify for our grant funding.
