Medicine Assisted Treatment

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, alongside counseling and behavioral therapies, to treat substance use disorders. MAT provides a “whole-patient” approach to treat addiction to opioids such as heroin or prescription pain relievers.  The main purpose of MAT is to ensure those who are struggling to enter recovery are given as many tools as possible to help them achieve their goal of living a life free of substance abuse.  Buprenorphine/Naloxone (Suboxone) and Vivitrol are FDA approved to be used for Opioid Use Disorder.  Vivitrol is also FDA approved for Alcohol Use Disorder.  Our addiction specialists could help you maintain sobriety and live a normal life.
