Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders that combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT is a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. It involves the use of FDA-approved medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, which are used in conjunction with counseling and other behavioral therapies to help individuals achieve and maintain recovery from addiction. We also offer counseling sessions up to once/week for all MAT patients, which will be all apart of the trusted process from us here at Life Line Services.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid agonist that works by binding to the same receptors in the brain that opioids bind to, which helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that produces less euphoria and has a lower risk of overdose compared to other opioids. Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids, which can help prevent relapse.

MAT has been shown to be effective in reducing opioid use, increasing retention in treatment, and improving outcomes for individuals with opioid use disorder. It has also been shown to be effective in treating alcohol use disorder. The effectiveness of MAT is supported by extensive research, and it has been shown to be a safe and effective approach to treating substance use disorders.
