What is Medication Assisted Treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery.
The nation's opioid crisis is no secret. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, over 760,000 people have died due to a drug overdose — and two-thirds of these deaths were opioid-related — since 1999. If you struggle with addiction to opioids or alcohol, it's crucial to get help right away to prevent the addiction from escalating to the point where it causes overdose or severe, life-threatening withdrawal symptoms.
There are many treatments available that can help with recovery and the uncomfortable phase of drug withdrawal. When your body gets used to a drug, both physical and mental components reinforce the addiction: Your mind and body may crave the drug. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which have been proven effective in treating opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people sustain recovery.
What Is Vivitrol (Naltrexone)?
Naltrexone-based medications are opioid antagonists, which means that they block the uptake of opioids within the brain and decrease their effects on the central nervous system. This medication can help those struggling to quit opioids manage withdrawal symptoms and decrease the incidence of relapse during and after treatment. Naltrexone is taken as a daily pill or monthly injection.
What is Suboxone (Buprenorphine)?
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that can be taken in several different ways depending on the schedule and preference of the patient. You can choose to take Suboxone as a dissolving tablet, cheek film, or subcutaneous injection. Those who feel that they will forget to take a once-daily pill may consider a six-month implant to relieve the burden of remembering a medication in addition to completing counseling and other parts of outpatient treatment.
What is Evzio (Naloxone)?
Naloxone is an emergency prescription medication given in the event of an opioid overdose. If you've taken too much of an opioid and you notice symptoms such as slow breathing, extreme sleepiness, and feeling as though you are going to faint (or pass out), you need emergency care. Medications such as naloxone are administered to reverse the damage of an overdose.
Why Choose MAT Over Other Forms of Treatment?
MAT certainly isn't the only form of treatment available to you, but it has the benefit of being research backed, and, at Kolbe Clinic, it's administered by qualified, licensed professionals who are there for you on every step of your journey to recovery. MAT can dramatically reduce cravings during treatment and help you find a way out of your addiction.
Patients should take note that medication-assisted treatment does not "cure" an addiction. It's not as simple as taking a pill and going on with life. For the best results in your recovery, it's important to consider both MAT and counseling to better understand your addiction, manage your triggers, and connect with others who understand your situation.
