We're excited to share an informative discussion from our Behavioral Health Innovators series, presented by Lightning Step Technologies, live from the NAATP Conference 2024! Host Benjamin Turner sat down with Michele Markwell, Family Program Coordinator at Fort Bend Regional Council on Substance Abuse, Inc. in Houston, Texas.

Michele, a licensed chemical dependency counselor with 23 years of experience, shared valuable insights on Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder:

Medications like Suboxone, Vivitrol, and methadone help manage cravings

Comprehensive assessments are crucial before starting MAT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing complement MAT

As a Lightning Step user, Michele highlighted how our EHR enhances their intake process and clinical assessments. She praised the user-friendly interface and customizable features that support their facility's unique needs.
