Comprehensive, Personalized MAT Programs
Your journey is unique. Our licensed addiction medicine professionals start by understanding your specific needs, challenges, and goals. Based on this deep understanding, we craft a personalized treatment plan that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral health therapies. This dual approach ensures a integrative recovery, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of opioid addiction.
FDA-Approved Medications for Opioid Addiction
We use the latest in addiction medicine, including:
- Buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone, Zubsolv): This combination not only helps reduce opioid cravings but also blocks the effects of opioids.
- Buprenorphine Injectable (Sublocade, Brixadi):A long-acting injection that provides a constant medication level, aiding in recovery without the daily need to take pills.
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol, Revia): Perfect for those who have detoxed, naltrexone blocks opioid receptors, preventing opioids from having their usual effect.

What is Opioid Addiction?
Opioid addiction, also known as opioid use disorder (OUD), is a chronic medical condition characterized by the compulsive use of opioid drugs despite harmful consequences. Opioids include prescription pain relievers like oxycodone and hydrocodone, as well as illegal drugs like fentanyl. Addiction affects brain function and behavior, leading to an inability to control drug use.
What Causes Opioid Addiction?
Opioid addiction can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Genetics
Family history of addiction can increase the risk.
Chronic Pain
Long-term use of prescription opioids for pain management.
Environmental Factors
Exposure to drug use, peer pressure, and stress.
Brain Chemistry
Changes in brain function due to opioid use.
Mental Health Disorders
Conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Opioid Addiction Symptoms
Common symptoms of opioid addiction include:
Physical Symptoms
Nausea, sweating, constipation, and respiratory depression.
Behavioral Changes
Increased secrecy, neglecting responsibilities, and engaging in risky activities.
Psychological Signs
Mood swings, anxiety, depression, and irritability.
Drug-Seeking Behavior
Frequently visiting multiple doctors, stealing prescriptions, and lying about symptoms.
Withdrawal Symptoms
Muscle pain, insomnia, diarrhea, and intense cravings when not using opioids.
Can You Recover from Opioid Addiction?
Yes, recovery from opioid addiction is possible with the right treatment and support. Comprehensive treatment plans often include medication-assisted treatment (MAT), behavioral therapies, and support groups. MAT combines medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone with counseling and behavioral therapies to address the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, increasing the chances of long-term recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions about MAT for Opioid Use Disorder
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. It’s an integrative approach that addresses the physical, psychological and social aspects of addiction.
How does MAT help in opioid addiction recovery?
MAT helps by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings that are a common part of opioid addiction. This makes it easier for individuals to focus on recovery and behavioral therapies without the constant struggle against withdrawal and cravings.
What medications are used in MAT?
We use FDA-approved medications including buprenorphine-naloxone (Suboxone, Zubsolv), buprenorphine injectable (Sublocade, Brixadi), and naltrexone (Vivitrol, Revia) as part of our MAT program. Each medication works differently to address opioid dependency.
Is MAT safe for everyone, including pregnant women?
MAT is safe and effective for most individuals battling opioid addiction, including pregnant women. Our specialized care for pregnant patients ensures both the mother’s and baby’s safety throughout the treatment process.
How can I start MAT?
To start MAT, contact us for an initial consultation. Our team of licensed addiction medicine professionals will evaluate your situation and discuss the best treatment plan for you.
What additional support does CleanSlate provide?
Beyond medication, CleanSlate offers comprehensive support including behavioral health treatment, care coordination for medical and psychiatric referrals, assistance with housing, transportation, and employment, and specialized treatment for conditions like Hepatitis C and management of Fentanyl withdrawal.
Can MAT cure opioid addiction?
While MAT can significantly improve outcomes for individuals with opioid use disorder, addiction is a chronic disease that requires ongoing management. MAT is most effective when combined with counseling and behavioral therapies.
How long does MAT last?
The duration of MAT varies based on individual needs. Some patients may be in treatment for several months, while others may require longer periods. Treatment length is tailored to each patient’s unique recovery journey.
Do I have to stop taking the medication eventually?
The goal of MAT is to stabilize your health and allow you to live a life free of opioid dependence. Whether and when to stop medication is a decision made between you and your healthcare provider, based on your specific circumstances and progress in recovery.
Will I become addicted to the MAT medications?
The medications used in MAT are designed to prevent withdrawal and reduce cravings without causing the euphoric effects of opioids. When taken as prescribed under the supervision of a healthcare provider, the risk of developing a new addiction is minimal.
Are there payment options available for MAT?
Yes, we offer flexible payment options. All our centers accept Medicaid and Medicare, as well as commercial insurance and out-of-pocket payments. We believe financial barriers shouldn’t prevent anyone from accessing the treatment they need.
What should I expect during my first visit for MAT?
During your first visit to a CleanSlate center, you’ll undergo a comprehensive evaluation that includes a medical assessment, a review of your health history, and a discussion about your substance use. This visit is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
