Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) combines medications, counseling, and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. These therapies help you change old patterns of thinking and learn new ways to manage cravings and stress.

MAT may increase your chance of success because it works on important aspects of recovery – the physical changes, mental stress and emotional process of change.

Along with MAT, it is very important to have social support (group work, a 12-step program or other peer recovery group) and to nourish your spirit in whatever ways are meaningful to you (walks in nature, meditation, religious studies, music, poetry and so much more).
