What Is Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

Medication assisted treatment is an important part of the addiction recovery process. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), MAT provides a “whole person” approach that combines the use of medications with counselling and behavioral therapies. MAT isn’t based on a generic treatment plan; rather, it focuses on a personalized approach according to each person’s specific needs, history of substance use, and recovery goals.

Effectiveness of Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication assisted treatment is considered one of the most effective programs because it offers a customized approach that meets an individual’s specific needs. It also incorporates a comprehensive strategy that includes medication, evidence-based therapies, and counseling. 

Benefits of Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication assisted treatment offers many important benefits to individuals. To fully experience these benefits, individuals must progress toward complete recovery, which allows them to begin a sober and stable life. Some of the key benefits include:

  • Reduction in Relapse Rate

    MAT helps control cravings that result in minimal chances of relapse.

  • Enhanced Quality of Life

    It improves mental, emotional, and physical well being.

  • Improves Survival Rates

    It significantly reduces the risks of overdosing and death.

  • Increases Treatment Retention

  • Normalization of Brain Chemistry

    It helps control normal brain functions that are affected by substance use.

  • Reduces Criminal Behavior

    It reduces the chances of involvement in criminal activities like buying illegal substances.

  • Increased Employment Opportunities

    The sobriety achieved through MAT helps individuals to continue or find employment.

  • Restored Relationships

How MAT Works at Elevate Wellness

At Elevate Wellness Center, our medically licensed team conducts a thorough assessment of each individual before accepting them into the MAT program. This assessment helps determine the appropriate level of MAT, the most suitable medication, and guides the creation of a customized treatment plan. It also evaluates whether the individual needs to undergo detox and outlines how to manage withdrawal symptoms and other related concerns.

Once the body is cleared of substances, medication assisted treatment begins and continues until the individual reaches a stable stage of recovery. This process also plays a vital role in preventing relapses by reducing cravings. It helps the individual maintain long term stability during the recovery journey.

                FAQs About Medication Assisted Treatment

                MAT is primarily used to treat opioid use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and in some cases, tobacco addiction.

                No. When used as prescribed, MAT medications stabilize brain chemistry and do not produce the "high" associated with misuse. They help manage withdrawal and cravings, not fuel addiction.

                The duration of MAT varies by individual. Some may need it for months, others for years. It is a long term, personalized treatment plan.
