How Does MAT Work?

Step 1: Comprehensive Evaluation

We begin with a detailed assessment to create a personalized treatment plan:
  • Review of your medical and substance use history.
  • Identification of co-occurring mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.
Our providers will prescribe and manage medications based on your specific needs:
  • Safe, supervised initiation of medication to ease withdrawal symptoms.
  • Regular follow-ups to monitor effectiveness and adjust dosages.
MAT is most effective when combined with counseling and behavioral therapies:
  • Individual Therapy: Explore and address the root causes of addiction.
  • Group Therapy: Share experiences, gain insights, and build a supportive community.
  • Relapse Prevention Planning: Develop coping strategies and skills to maintain sobriety.
  • Regular check-ins to evaluate progress and make necessary adjustments.
  • Guidance on transitioning to maintenance or tapering off medications when appropriate.

Benefit from MAT

Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to support recovery from substance use disorders. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), 19.4% of U.S. adults with opioid use disorder received medication to treat the condition during the past year.

Key MAT Statistics:
  • This estimate is based on combined data from the 2022, 2023, and 2024 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health and represents approximately 1 in 5 of the 5 million adults who had opioid use disorder during that period.
  • In 2024, approximately 2.5% of people aged 12 and older with alcohol use disorder (about 697,000 people) received medication to treat the condition.

Access to medication for alcohol use disorder is also limited. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) reports the figures above for 2024.

These findings highlight the gap between the availability of evidence-based medication treatments and their use among people who may benefit from them. When clinically appropriate, medication combined with counseling and ongoing support can be an important part of an individualized recovery plan.
