MAT SERVICES
WHAT IT IS
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and behavioral support to treat opioid or alcohol dependence. MAT helps restore chemical balance in the brain, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery — allowing individuals to focus on healing, stability, and rebuilding their lives.
TREATMENT
MAT is tailored to each individual’s needs and is always guided by licensed psychiatric providers. Treatment may include:
- FDA-approved medications: Options such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, or other appropriate prescriptions to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
- Therapy integration: Individual or group therapy to address underlying causes of addiction, improve coping strategies, and support long-term change.
- Behavioral support: Structured guidance for managing triggers, stress, and daily routines that promote sobriety and emotional wellness.
- Ongoing medical monitoring: Regular follow-ups to adjust medication, track progress, and ensure safe, effective treatment outcomes.
- Whole-person care: Integrating lifestyle changes, support systems, and mental health treatment to promote full recovery.
