What to Know About Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
We personalize our MATs for every patient who turns to us. What is MAT, and what can you expect from it? MAT is a holistic approach to opioid addiction recovery that uses FDA-approved medications, counseling, and behavioral therapy. MAT can help you manage the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, overcome cravings, and avoid relapsing.
The medications we use during MAT include Suboxone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. These are proven to help people combat opioid addictions. Suboxone specifically is often compared to methadone. While it serves a similar purpose, Suboxone presents a lower risk of dependence. Beyond medication, we will help you make necessary lifestyle changes and connect you with mental health counseling. By treating both body and mind, we make it possible for you to meet the challenge of recovery.
Throughout MAT, we will monitor your progress, adjust medication doses, and provide ongoing support. Our doctor and professional staff will also take the time to educate you about addiction and MAT, so you have the information necessary to make important decisions and positive life changes.

How Effective Is MAT?
In short, MAT can be an effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD).
According to a 2019 publication from the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine: “Evidence demonstrates that patients who receive longer-term treatment with medication for OUD have better treatment outcomes; they are also less likely to die from overdose if they return to use while on medication.”
This study, among others, underscores the benefits of MAT. At our clinic, we have seen numerous people overcome opioid addictions through this treatment method. Find out whether it could be right for you by consulting our doctor.
What Is an Opioid Addiction and Why Is it a Problem?
Opioid addiction is a chronic and uncontrollable or compulsive use of opioids, including prescription painkillers like oxycodone and hydrocodone, prescription and illegally made fentanyl, and heroin.
Opioid addiction is a serious problem for several reasons, such as:
- The highly addictive nature of opioids. Even short-term use of an opioid can result in addiction.
- The risk of overdose. Opioid use can depress the respiratory system, leading to a heightened risk of overdose.
- Its physical and mental impacts. Long-term opioid addiction can cause respiratory problems and mental health disorders. Additionally, opioids like heroin often require injection. If not performed safely, these injections could cause injuries or pose the risk of infectious disease.
- The social and economic consequences. Opioid addictions can strain relationships, limit employment opportunities, and potentially lead to criminal activity.
- The barriers to treatment. Stigma, treatment access, and challenges with the healthcare system can make it difficult to seek proper care.
