What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) and Why is it Effective?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a clinically proven method to treat opioid addiction and alcohol use disorder. This outpatient addiction treatment uses FDA-approved medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings, allowing you to focus on long-term recovery. At CleanSlate, we tailor our MAT program specifically for each individual, ensuring you receive the right combination of opioid treatment medications and behavioral health support.
MAT is highly effective because it treats both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Combining medications like Suboxone or buprenorphine with behavioral health services offers comprehensive support that improves outcomes and significantly reduces relapse rates.
FDA-Approved Medications Offered by CleanSlate for Opioid Recovery
Our approach to MAT centers on the most effective, FDA-approved medications, each selected based on your specific needs:
- Buprenorphine: Relieves withdrawal symptoms and cravings, stabilizing brain chemistry.
- Suboxone: A combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, designed to reduce misuse risk.
- Sublocade: A monthly injection of buprenorphine, providing extended relief without daily dosing.
- Vivitrol: A non-addictive medication that blocks the effects of opioids.
- Brixadi: A newer, sustained-release option ideal for low-dose inductions.
These medications offer a safe, effective foundation for recovery, making it easier to overcome the physiological challenges of addiction.
