Telehealth platforms provide programs like GIA Miami a new way to communicate with patients to provide support and therapy.

At GIA, we understand that addiction results from a physiologic disorder, just like any other disease. Like in those disorders, it is often beneficial to use medication that can assist in their management. We use highly personalized medication-assisted treatment — or “MAT” — therapy to address the chemical imbalances that cause cravings to help our patients achieve sobriety and minimize the chances of relapse.

Our medical team can prescribe medication as part of our telehealth program. In fact, in many cases, our patients report that they can get their medications more quickly and efficiently than through an office visit.
At GIA Miami, telehealth puts you in control of your treatment by giving you more options. And remember, you can still come in for visits when it is convenient for you. Telehealth just gives you another option when it’s not.
