Medication – along with counseling and behavioral therapy – can be a life-saving option for people facing opioid addiction. We’ll help you understand whether MAT is right for you.
MAT Is Transforming Addiction Treatment
The thinking around “chemical dependency treatment” has evolved. Now called medication-assisted treatment, CHD and other leading recovery centers in Western Massachusetts recognize its value in treating certain addictions.
For many people in recovery, it’s a life-saving tool that supports the progress being made in therapy.
MAT provides a safe and controlled level of medication to help people overcome their dependence. Our certified addiction experts can help prescribe naltrexone and buprenorphine as well as provide access to methadone. If you’re already receiving methadone, we can help manage your treatment plan.
Typically used for addiction to opioids such as heroin and certain prescription pain relievers, MAT can help relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that make recovery so challenging.
Our team will coordinate all of your behavioral health care needs. Access to MAT, psychiatry, therapy and counseling is all available under one roof.
Under the care of a physician, MAT can safely be used for months, years, or even a lifetime. Talk to your doctor before stopping or changing any medications you take.
