Case Management sends the referrals to the patient after examining their lab tests. By working together, the nutrition specialist and the participant establish a plan to attend to their needs and improve their eating habits.

This is part of Centro Araratâs efforts to provide primary healthcare of excellence. This will be achieved through conferences, lectures, promotions, and community outreach.
Buprenorphine Treatment
Opioid Use Disorder is a chronic condition that lasts a lifetime. It cannot be cured, but it can be managed effectively. A person with this disorder can lead a healthy and productive life. One of the ways to achieve this goal is through the use of Buprenorphine.Â
What is Buprenorphine?
It is a safe and effective medicine to treat heroin addiction and opioid consumption. These medications include prescription narcotic pain relievers that can be addictive, such as PercocetÂŪ, VicodinÂŪ, and Codeine.
How does it work?Â
Itâs a thin layer that you place under the tongue and it dissolves quickly. It cannot be chewed or swallowed. This thin sheet eliminates or reduces the symptoms of withdrawal. It also reduces the desire to consume. Buprenorphine has lasting effects and with the help of our team of experts, the participant will receive all the benefits of this treatment.
Sampling
As part of our services, participants have access to our sampling services. The laboratory samples are taken and processed in our lab, which then is sent directly to the doctor to be discussed.
