Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
A Comprehensive Approach to Addiction Recovery
Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment
Combining Medications with Therapy for Lasting Recovery
MAT is designed to help individuals manage withdrawal symptoms, prevent relapse, and stabilize brain chemistry while they engage in comprehensive addiction treatment. It is particularly effective for those recovering from opioid and alcohol dependence.
Benefits of MAT:
Reduces Withdrawal Symptoms: Helps ease discomfort during detox.
Decreases Cravings: Supports long-term recovery by minimizing relapse risks.
Stabilizes Brain Chemistry: Aids in restoring normal brain function.
Improves Treatment Retention: Encourages continued participation in therapy.
Enhances Long-Term Sobriety: Provides additional support alongside behavioral therapies.
MAT is not a substitute for recovery but a valuable tool in achieving lasting sobriety. At Entrust Recovery Center, we integrate MAT with holistic and therapeutic approaches to support full healing.
