What is medication-assisted treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment is an evidence-based approach to addiction recovery that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling, behavioral therapy, and ongoing clinical support.
MAT most commonly uses:
- Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs), including heroin, fentanyl, and prescription painkillers
- Medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUDs)
These medications help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and stabilize brain chemistry. They allow you to focus on recovery without constant physical distress.
Every MAT plan at Cedar Grove Recovery begins with a full medical and psychological evaluation to ensure the safest and most effective treatment for your needs.
