What is Medication Assisted Treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) offers an encouraging path for overcoming substance use disorders by combining the power of medications with the support of counseling and behavioral therapies.

​

MAT is a beacon of hope for those struggling with opioid addiction, working to restore brain chemistry, prevent the euphoric effects of opioids, and ease physical cravings.

​

It is a proven pathway to recovery, significantly increasing the likelihood of sustained sobriety. Individuals who use prescribed treatment medications are half as likely to experience a fatal overdose as those who do not receive treatment.

​

More than just minimizing overdose risk, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) elevates the overall quality of life for those recovering from opioid use disorder. By tackling both the physical and emotional facets of addiction, MAT empowers individuals to rebuild their lives, improve social connections, and embrace a bright future of long-term recovery.
