For many people facing addiction to opioids or alcohol, willpower alone isn’t enough—and that’s not a failure, it’s reality. We offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as a compassionate, evidence-based approach to managing cravings, reducing the risk of relapse, and beginning the healing process with safety and support.
Our MAT program, located in Louisville and proudly accepting Medicaid, is part of a comprehensive, whole-person treatment model. It addresses the physical symptoms of addiction, the emotional toll of relapse cycles, and the underlying psychological challenges that often go untreated. Here, you’re not just managing symptoms—you’re building a path to lasting recovery.
What is medication-assisted treatment?
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling, behavioral therapies, and structured clinical support. It’s most commonly used to treat addiction to opioids (including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers) and alcohol use disorder.
Medication-assisted treatment is not about replacing one addiction with another. When properly prescribed and professionally monitored, these medications help stabilize brain chemistry, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery.
Which MAT medications do we use?
Our team offers several safe and effective medication options, based on your medical history, treatment goals, and detox or relapse prevention needs:
- Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone): For opioid addiction—helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms
- Subutex (buprenorphine): Used in early-stage treatment, often for clients with sensitivity to naloxone
- Vivitrol (naltrexone): A monthly injection used for both opioid and alcohol addiction—blocks the euphoric effects of substances
All medications are administered and monitored by licensed medical professionals as part of your individualized treatment plan.
Who can benefit from MAT?
MAT may be right for you if:
You struggle with opioid or alcohol addiction.
You’ve experienced repeated relapses.
You face severe withdrawal symptoms or cravings.
You are transitioning from detox or inpatient care.
You need additional stabilization to begin or maintain recovery.
Our team will assess your clinical needs and collaborate with you to determine if MAT is the right path.
