Medication can quiet cravings and withdrawal enough that the rest of recovery becomes possible. At Silver Lining Recovery, medication-assisted treatment is not a standalone prescription service. It is medical and psychiatric support built into a structured outpatient program, so the medication side of your care and the therapy side of your care are handled by one team.
Outpatient only, not a standalone prescription service
Opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder
Certified by California DHCS, accredited by The Joint Commission
Free, confidential assessment
MAT pairs FDA-approved medication with counseling and behavioral therapy to treat opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. Which medication fits you, if any, is a clinical decision made by your treating medical provider after a full assessment, not something decided from a website.
Silver Lining Recovery is an outpatient program. We do not operate a detox unit, a residential facility, or an opioid treatment program. When medically supervised withdrawal management needs to come first, we coordinate that referral and then receive you into PHP or IOP as you step down.
Medication evaluation, management and coordination happen inside PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, Virtual IOP or Outpatient, not as a standalone service.
Which medication fits you, if any, is decided by your treating medical provider after a full assessment. We do not decide that from a website.
Psychiatric medication management and therapy come from the same team, so instructions on one side never contradict the other.
A free, confidential assessment answers that in one conversation. Checking your coverage first costs nothing and carries no obligation to enroll.
These are the live site’s own criteria, matched to what a clinician reviews at assessment.
You are using prescription or illicit opioids and want to stop or cut back.
Alcohol use is affecting your health, your work, or your relationships, and stopping on your own has not held.
You have completed withdrawal management or a hospital stay and want support that lowers relapse risk.
You have tried individual therapy alone and cravings kept pulling you back.
You are managing a mental health condition alongside substance use and need both addressed together.
Most virtual outpatient programs are therapy only and send anything medical elsewhere. Ours is run by the same physicians, nurses and clinicians as the Huntington Beach program, over a secure HIPAA-compliant platform.
Which level of care your plan covers depends on your specific benefits and medical necessity. Verification is free, takes about two minutes, and carries no obligation to enroll.
Five steps from first call to an ongoing plan.
A confidential conversation about your history, your goals, and what has and has not worked before.
We confirm your benefits and explain what your plan covers before treatment begins.
A licensed clinician reviews your medical and substance-use history, current medications, and any allergies.
You and your clinical team agree on a level of care, a therapy schedule, and whether medication management belongs in the plan.
Your plan gets adjusted as your first stretch of treatment shows what is working.
Call for a free, confidential assessment and insurance check, and we will tell you honestly whether MAT and outpatient care are the right fit for you.
Levels of care differ by how many hours a week you spend in treatment. The same team runs all of them.
Alongside PHP, IOP or OP

Co-occurring substance use and mental health conditions treated together, at intake.
"Silver Lining is a great place for mental health and substance use disorder treatment. I’ve been here for both. Every single person from staff to clinicians to ownership all genuinely care and make the time to show they care. Programming is thoughtful, informative, and very engaging. There is much more thought into treating the root cause than the symptom."
"The support and real care they give is unmatched. I can say without any doubt that the people that make up this community have a calling to serve and support those of us trying to heal and find a new way of life. Today I’m over five months clean, I have a career that feeds my energy, and a community of people that help me stay accountable."
"Silver Lining Recovery is a fantastic program for anyone seeking treatment for drug and/or alcohol abuse. Barmak and his staff were a delight to work with. Highly recommended."
We provide outpatient addiction and mental health treatment that includes medication evaluation, medication management, and coordination of MAT as part of your clinical plan. Medication decisions are made by your treating medical provider after a full assessment. We do not operate a detox unit or an opioid treatment program, and we will tell you clearly if a different setting is the safer fit.
No. MAT medications are prescribed at controlled doses to stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and make therapy possible. They are used under clinical supervision as part of a treatment plan, which is what separates treatment from continued substance use.
For opioid use disorder, the FDA-approved options are buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. For alcohol use disorder, they are naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. Methadone is dispensed only through certified opioid treatment programs, which is a different license from ours.
For opioid treatment specifically, many organizations now use MOUD, meaning medications for opioid use disorder. The shift in wording is meant to make clear that medication is treatment in its own right, not an accessory to it.
There is no fixed length. Some people take medication for months, others for much longer, and that decision belongs to you and your prescriber based on how you are doing. Stopping is a clinical decision, not a deadline.
Every medication has possible side effects, and they vary by medication and by person. Your prescriber reviews the risks with you before you start and monitors how you respond. Tell your clinical team about any other medications or conditions, including pregnancy.
Outpatient care exists for exactly that reason. Evening IOP is built for people with day jobs and classes, and Virtual IOP removes the commute. Ask your admissions counselor about scheduling around your specific hours.
Yes, with your consent. Family involvement helps recovery hold up at home, and your team can talk through what makes sense for your situation.
