Where can people receive treatment using PROMETA? Physicians at the Peninsula Recovery Center have licensed the rights to use the PROMETA treatment protocols. To learn more about this innovative treatment approach, call (310) 514-5300 or toll free (866) 404-7346. What are the PROMETA treatment protocols? PROMETA is an innovative medical treatment approach for the management of alcohol, cocaine or methamphetamine dependence in adults. There are two PROMETA treatment protocols:
• PROMETA for Alcohol Dependence PROMETA includes medically supervised treatments designed to address both the neurochemical imbalances in the brain and some of the nutritional deficits caused or worsened by substance dependence. PROMETA also provides for one-month of prescription medications and nutritional supplements, combined with recommended psychological or other recovery-oriented therapy chosen by the patient in conjunction with their treatment provider. How are the PROMETA treatment protocols administered? Following a comprehensive medical assessment, treatment with PROMETA begins with the administration of pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements in a medically supervised setting over a period of 2-3 consecutive days. Treatment with PROMETA involves both orally (by mouth) and intravenously (through a vein) administered medications and nutritional supplements. For those patients treated for cocaine or methamphetamine dependence, PROMETA provides for a second medically supervised treatment of 2 consecutive days about 3 weeks after the initial treatment. Following the medically supervised treatments, PROMETA provides that patients will receive one-month of prescription medications and nutritional supplements to be taken at home, and will be encouraged to enroll in continuing care treatment (e.g., counseling, group support). What type of continuing care is included in the PROMETA treatment protocols? The recommended psychosocial or other recovery-oriented therapy is chosen by the patient in conjunction with their treatment provider. |
