Addiction Medicine in Monmouth County, NJ
Physician-led evaluation and treatment for substance use disorders — integrated with behavioral health programming in the same facility, not referred across town.
What addiction medicine includes
Medical assessment and monitoring, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), point-of-care testing with coordinated lab services, physical health monitoring, and harm reduction education — all physician-supervised.
Why medical care matters in recovery
Substance use affects the whole body. Untreated medical issues — sleep disorders, hormone imbalances, chronic conditions — can stall therapy and drive relapse. Aura's model treats the medical side of recovery alongside the behavioral side.
Integrated with your therapy
Your addiction medicine physician and your therapy team share one chart and one plan. Medication decisions are informed by what's happening in group and individual sessions — and vice versa.
