Empowering minds, elevating lives
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven approach to treating substance use disorders by combining FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapies and counseling. MAT helps reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery—especially for individuals with opioid or alcohol use disorders. When integrated into a comprehensive mental health program, MAT provides critical stabilization that allows for deeper therapeutic work and sustainable progress.
Medication-Assisted Treatment uses specific medications to address the biological aspects of addiction while psychotherapy addresses the psychological and behavioral components. This dual approach improves treatment retention, reduces relapse rates, and supports long-term recovery.
MAT is not a replacement for therapy—it is one part of a complete treatment plan that includes structured counseling and support services.
MAT is appropriate for individuals struggling with:
MAT can be especially beneficial for individuals who have not achieved lasting recovery through traditional abstinence-based methods alone.
Several medications may be used based on the individual’s medical history, diagnosis, and treatment goals. All medications are administered and monitored by licensed medical providers with experience in addiction medicine and mental health care.
A once-monthly injection that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces alcohol cravings.
A long-acting injectable that reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
A non-addictive medication that reduces cravings and blocks the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids.
Medication-Assisted Treatment is offered as part of a structured, clinically supervised treatment plan that may include:
In these levels of care, MAT is combined with individual therapy, group therapy, and evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused approaches. This integrated model ensures that both the physiological and psychological aspects of addiction are addressed simultaneously.
By stabilizing brain chemistry and supporting emotional regulation, MAT allows individuals to participate more fully in therapy and rebuild healthy routines.
Guiding you to recovery & promoting your highest self.
All MAT medications are prescribed and managed by medical professionals. Treatment begins with a comprehensive clinical evaluation to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage. Ongoing medical monitoring ensures safety, efficacy, and integration with the broader treatment plan.
Medication is always paired with behavioral health services for maximum effectiveness. MAT is not a “quick fix,” but a medically informed tool to support a long-term recovery journey.
No. Medications like Vivitrol and Sublocade are non-addictive and used to stabilize brain chemistry, not create a new dependency.
Most commercial insurance plans cover MAT. A verification process can determine eligibility and benefits before treatment begins.
Yes. MAT is designed to be used in combination with therapy, counseling, and psychosocial support.
Duration varies depending on individual needs and progress. Some individuals use MAT short-term, while others benefit from extended treatment under medical supervision.
Medication-Assisted Treatment offers a safe, effective path to stability and recovery for individuals struggling with substance use. When combined with structured therapy and supportive care, MAT helps lay the foundation for long-term success.
