Understanding Medicated Assistant Treatment
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach for treating substance use disorders.
MAT combines the use of FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan. MAT is primarily used for the treatment of opioid and alcohol use disorders.
MAT services at Thresholds
We offer comprehensive MAT services tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our team of experienced healthcare providers works closely with patients to develop and implement a personalized treatment plan.
Benefits of MAT
- Improved survival rates: MAT has been shown to significantly increase the chances of long-term recovery by reducing the risk of fatal overdoses.
- Better treatment retention: Individuals receiving MAT often stay in treatment programs longer, increasing their chances of a successful recovery.
- Decreased illicit opioid use: MAT helps reduce the need for illicit drugs by addressing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.
- Enhanced ability to gain and maintain employment: By stabilizing individuals, MAT improves their ability to work and manage responsibilities.
- Lower risk of infectious diseases: MAT reduces behaviors that contribute to the spread of diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C.
Is MAT Right for You?
MAT is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it is the right approach for you. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use disorder, contact us to learn more about how MAT can be an integral part of your recovery journey.
