Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a way to help individuals recover from substance use disorders, especially opioid addiction, by combining medications with counseling and therapy. The medications used, such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, work to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stop using addictive substances. MAT is tailored to each person’s needs and is part of a comprehensive treatment plan aimed at supporting long-term recovery. It’s an evidence-based approach that improves the chances of successful treatment and helps individuals regain stability and function.
