Medication Assisted Treatment
In the best of circumstances, ending opioid or alcohol addiction is a difficult, painful process. In the most challenging of circumstances, the addictions are almost impossible to overcome. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is often a critical tool that, when combined with therapy and other supports, can help a person enter into and maintain recovery. If you or someone you know might benefit from Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services, contact us today to learn more about how we can help.
How It Works
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven, effective treatment. In MAT, clients receive medication sometimes daily or monthly that curbs cravings and the body’s need for opioids or alcohol. For many, it reduces:
Relapse, compared to abstinence-only (“going cold turkey”)
Cravings
Anxiety
Sleep disturbances
Our MAT team, comprised of Medical Doctors and Advanced Nurse Practitioners, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, licensed social workers, medical assistants, and recovery support workers, structures treatment to meet the patient’s needs or goals. A multi-pronged approach helps patients achieve—and sustain—recovery. Patients may be encouraged to pursue other treatments, such as:
Residential rehab treatment
Outpatient counseling or behavioral therapy
Intensive Outpatient treatment
Patients in these programs have access to MAT.
Treatment Medications
Our medication may include:
Suboxone
Subutex
Vivitrol
Subclade
