Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

At Sunbless Healthcare Services, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to support individuals on their journey to recovery. MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to address substance use disorders. This holistic approach helps manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery.

What is MAT?

MAT uses medications to stabilize your body while you focus on healing your mind. It’s a proven method that enhances the effectiveness of therapy and increases your chances of recovery.

Who Can Benefit from MAT?

MAT is ideal for individuals struggling with:

• Opioid use disorder
• Alcohol use disorder
• Relapse prevention during recovery

Our program is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Whether you’re starting recovery or need support to stay on track, MAT can help.

How MAT Works

MAT addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. It helps to:

• Reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Normalize brain chemistry
• Block the euphoric effects of substances

Medications We Use

1. Buprenorphine (Suboxone):
Helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It’s safe, effective, and allows you to focus on recovery.

2. Naltrexone (Vivitrol):
Prevents the effects of opioids or alcohol, reducing the risk of relapse. It is non-addictive and supports long-term recovery.

3. Methadone:
Manages withdrawal symptoms for individuals with severe opioid dependence. It’s administered under medical supervision for safety.

4. Acamprosate (Campral):
Supports recovery from alcohol use disorder by reducing cravings.

5. Disulfiram (Antabuse):
Discourages alcohol consumption by causing unpleasant reactions when alcohol is consumed.
