Treatment and Staff

Mississippi Opioid Treatment Center has an online packet available for new clients to complete prior to their first appointment. The packet asks questions to determine their eligibility to participate in this program. These forms assess each client’s personal background, health history and how long he or she has been abusing drugs.

The customized plans typically offer an ambulatory outpatient program using medications to help ease the withdrawal process. MOTC provides buprenorphine as a way to manage cravings. Clients go to the clinic for their medication on a regular schedule on a weekly basis.

Stabilized clients then begin a regimen of counseling. During this stage the focus in on relapse prevention and developing new coping skills. Therapy is in a one on one setting and allows clients to really zero in on their particular struggles with sobriety. In some cases clients may be referred to a psychiatrist for an evaluation or medication management.

Every treatment plan is entirely based on the information received during the intake. Depending on how long the client used and what his or her particular substance abuse looks like, determines how long each person can expect to remain in their treatment program.

In addition to Dr. Kumar’s experience working with clients dealing with addiction, he is also specialized in geriatric psychiatry and sleep medicine. In particular instances, clients who may fit the profile may receive additional guidance from Dr. Kumar. Kumar also happens to be exclusive owner of the only Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation machine in the state of Mississippi.

In Summary

Though this facility offers a fair amount of outpatient options, these services provided by Dr. Kumar and the MOTC are ideal for those who don’t need an inpatient detox program in order to maintain. Dr. Kumar is dedicated to treating his clients with respect and giving them the proper treatment provided that they meet the program’s standards. In addition, this facility and program are responding to the need for opioid treatment programs that offer accessible care.
