Combining Medication and Therapy for Effective Recovery
At One Life at a Time, we understand that overcoming substance use disorders can be challenging, especially when withdrawal symptoms and cravings make recovery difficult. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven approach that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to support individuals in their recovery journey. Our MAT program in Massachusetts provides a safe and structured pathway to sobriety, helping individuals manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and build a foundation for long-term recovery.
Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that uses medications to help individuals manage the physical and psychological challenges of addiction recovery. MAT is primarily used for opioid and alcohol use disorders, providing relief from withdrawal symptoms while allowing individuals to focus on behavioral therapy and long-term healing.
Key benefits of MAT include:
- Reduced Withdrawal Symptoms: Helps ease discomfort during detox and early recovery.
- Craving Management: Lowers the risk of relapse by reducing the urge to use substances.
- Increased Treatment Retention: Supports individuals in staying engaged with therapy and treatment programs.
- Improved Overall Stability: Allows individuals to focus on personal growth, work, and relationships while in recovery.
Our Approach to Medication-Assisted Treatment
At One Life at a Time, MAT is integrated into our comprehensive treatment programs for opioid and alcohol use disorders. While MAT is not a standalone solution, it is highly effective when combined with therapy, counseling, and holistic treatments. We work closely with each individual to determine if MAT is the right option based on their medical history, substance use patterns, and recovery goals.
Personalized MAT Plans
Each MAT program is tailored to meet an individual’s specific needs. Our treatment plans include:
- Comprehensive Medical Evaluation: Assessing an individual’s history, substance use, and overall health.
- FDA-Approved Medications: Offering options such as Buprenorphine (Suboxone®), Methadone, or Naltrexone (Vivitrol®) under medical supervision.
- Behavioral Therapy Integration: Combining MAT with individual counseling, group therapy, and relapse prevention strategies.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Adjustments: Ensuring medication effectiveness and making necessary adjustments as recovery progresses.
Who Can Benefit from MAT?
Medication-Assisted Treatment is a valuable option for individuals struggling with:
- Opioid Use Disorder (OUD): Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms for individuals recovering from heroin or prescription opioid addiction.
- Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD): Supports sobriety by blocking the effects of alcohol and reducing alcohol-related cravings.
- Chronic Relapse Issues: Helps individuals maintain long-term stability after multiple relapse attempts.
- Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions: Provides additional support for individuals managing both addiction and mental health challenges.
