Drug and alcohol treatment is different for each individual. As part of our varied treatment options, The Counseling Center supplies Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for patients. This effective strategy helps numerous people control alcohol or drug withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings that urge them to resume their substance use. Under the watchful eye of our expert clinicians, you may obtain medication treatment to help you move forward in your recovery and meet your end goal of lasting sobriety.
How Medication-assisted Treatment Works
Medication-assisted treatment involves FDA-authorized medications to ease the symptoms and compulsions of drug and alcohol addiction. We know that cravings and withdrawal are rough and make it difficult to prevail over addiction.
We combat your compulsions with prescription medicines such as Vivitrol and Suboxone. Our licensed medical team will collaborate with you to figure out your correct medication and dosage level. As you undergo MAT, we follow your response to the medication to ensure you don’t experience adverse side effects and continue receiving the treatment on schedule.
Medication-assisted treatment is most successful when incorporated with accredited therapy, peer support participation, and healthy sober habits. The Counseling Center is glad to provide this extensive level of support. We merge mental and medical health care to address the “whole you” and fight drug and alcohol addiction on all fronts to provide a better opportunity for recovery.
