What is Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT)?
Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) is the use of medication, in combination with counseling and behavior therapies, to successfully treat substance use disorders.
MAT is primarily used for addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription painkillers that contain opiates.

treatment for drug & alcohol addiction
There are also MAT medications for use in treating alcohol addiction. The MAT prescribed medications act to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of opioids and alcohol, relieve cravings and stabilize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug.

safe & controlled
MAT programs provide a safe and controlled level of medication to overcome the use of an opioid or the dependency on alcohol. Methadone, Buprenorphine and Naltrexone are used to treat opioid dependence. Disulfiram, Acamprosate and Naltrexone are commonly used to treat alcohol use disorders.
