Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

FDA-approved medications combined with counseling to support long-term recovery from opioid use disorder.

What is medication-assisted treatment?

MAT combines medications like Suboxone, Brixadi, or Sublocade with counseling and behavioral support to treat opioid use disorder. Medication helps manage cravings and withdrawal so patients can focus on the rest of their recovery, rather than treating medication and counseling as separate paths.

Who this is for

Adults struggling with opioid dependence
Patients who have tried other treatment approaches without lasting success
Patients seeking a medically supervised, structured path to stability
Referrals from emergency departments, primary care, or other treatment providers

What to expect

Initial evaluation

3

Regular monitoring & counseling

Ongoing visits paired with counseling support.

4

Long-term stabilization
