Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) assists people struggling with a substance misuse disorder in effectively navigating the withdrawal and recovery process.
MAT decreases the chance of relapse by managing the severity of withdrawal symptoms and minimizing cravings. This highly controlled method helps individuals fully engage with all aspects of the treatment program and recovery process.
Sana at Stowe leverages the science behind MAT to help patients safely and comfortably engage with inpatient treatment and start the journey of freedom from addiction.
What Is Medicated Assisted Treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an addiction recovery approach using medication with behavioral therapy to manage alcohol or substance misuse disorders. Certified professionals tailor MAT medicines to deliver quality and comfortable care during withdrawal.
MAT assists in:
- Minimizing cravings during the early stages of treatment
- Alleviating symptoms during alcohol or substance withdrawal
- Eliminating a substance’s ability to induce a high
MAT goes hand-in-hand with group and individual counseling to explore the root causes driving addiction and help build a new life beyond addiction.
How Does MAT Work?
MAT medications contain active ingredients that restore balance to the parts of the brain affected by addiction. This chemical process helps an individual’s brain heal so they can better focus and stay on the right track to recovery, remission, and long-term health.
Because of its ability to curb cravings and withdrawal, MAT is used for people struggling with addiction to a range of substances, including:
- Alcohol: When used in alcohol rehab programs, MAT helps individuals take control of their alcohol cravings and urges.
- Prescription opioids: MAT is often used for the treatment of prescription opioid addiction. Because getting off of opioids can be dangerous for a person’s health, we will help you wean off of them in a controlled and safe environment.
- Illicit substances: The dangers of detoxing from illicit substances — like heroin and fentanyl — are similar to getting off of opioids. MAT creates a scheduled detox with professional supervision.
