What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a scientifically-backed method to treat opioid addiction. This treatment approach uses FDA-approved medications, such as buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone, in combination with therapy and counseling. MAT helps individuals reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to stay focused on their recovery.
At Mississippi DATC, we offer this comprehensive treatment approach to support both the physical and emotional aspects of recovery. MAT helps our patients regain control over their lives and achieve long-term sobriety.
How MAT Helps People Overcome Opioid Addiction
Opioid addiction is a chronic condition that affects both the body and mind. Medication-assisted treatment works by addressing these two components. It reduces physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing individuals to concentrate on therapy and recovery. MAT helps stabilize the brain’s chemistry, which can improve overall emotional well-being and reduce the risk of relapse.
This approach is particularly effective for those with severe opioid addiction or individuals who have previously relapsed. By stabilizing the body, MAT allows patients to focus on their mental and emotional healing.
