Sheer Recovery offers leading-edge technologies and a thoroughly tested and trusted approach to alcohol and drug addiction treatment. One of its treatment approaches is medication therapy management (MTM).

A new standard of care, MTM entails scrutinizing patients’ medication use to ensure that they are adhering to their medication regimen. Also, a significant part of MTM focuses on avoiding potentially dangerous drug interactions.

As up to 89 percent of patients are prescribed medications as part of their addiction treatment, MTM is a crucial protocol for successful treatment outcomes. Sheer Recovery provides MTM through a sophisticated combination of toxicology and pharmacogenomic testing. Pharmacogenomic testing considers the roles that genes play in determining people’s reactions to medications, allowing researchers to predict how each patient will respond to medical treatment.
