Effective Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services

MAT combines the use of FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a holistic approach to treatment. Our goal is to support your recovery journey by reducing withdrawal symptoms, preventing relapse, and promoting long-term sobriety.
Why Choose Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Comprehensive and Integrated Care
MAT is a proven, evidence-based treatment that integrates medication with therapy to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. This comprehensive approach significantly improves the chances of successful recovery and helps individuals regain control over their lives.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Continental Wellness Center, we understand that every individual’s journey to recovery is unique. Our team of experts creates personalized MAT plans tailored to your specific needs and substance use history. We focus on providing individualized care that addresses your unique challenges and goals.
Our Medication-Assisted Treatment Services
FDA-Approved Medications
We use FDA-approved medications that are safe and effective in treating opioid and alcohol use disorders. These medications help to stabilize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, and reduce cravings. Our MAT program includes:
Buprenorphine (Suboxone): A partial opioid agonist that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms for individuals with opioid use disorder.
Methadone: A full opioid agonist used to prevent withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
Naltrexone (Vivitrol): An opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids and alcohol, helping to prevent relapse.
Acamprosate: Helps maintain abstinence from alcohol by restoring the chemical balance in the brain.
Comprehensive Assessments
Our MAT services begin with a comprehensive assessment. This assessment includes a thorough evaluation of your medical history, substance use patterns, and any co-occurring mental health conditions. This helps us determine the most appropriate medication and treatment plan for you.
Integrated Counseling and Behavioral Therapies
Medication alone is not enough for long-term recovery. That’s why we integrate counseling and behavioral therapies into our MAT program. These therapies help you address the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping strategies, and build a solid foundation for lasting recovery. Our services include:
Individual Counseling: Personalized therapy sessions that focus on your specific needs and challenges.
Group Therapy: Support from peers who understand your journey and can provide encouragement and shared experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Techniques to change negative thought patterns and behaviors related to substance use.
Motivational Interviewing: Helps you find the internal motivation to make positive changes and commit to your recovery goals.
Ongoing Monitoring and Support
Recovery is a continuous process that requires ongoing support. We provide regular monitoring to ensure that your medication is effective and that you are making progress toward your recovery goals. Our team is here to support you at every step of your journey, offering encouragement, guidance, and adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
Conditions Treated with Medication-Assisted Treatment
Our MAT program is effective in treating a variety of substance use disorders, including:
Opioid Use Disorder: Treatment for dependence on prescription opioids, heroin, and other illicit opioids.
Alcohol Use Disorder: Support for those struggling with alcohol dependence and addiction.
Benefits of Medication-Assisted Treatment
Reduced Cravings and Withdrawal Symptoms
Medications used in MAT help reduce the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with substance use disorders. This makes it easier to focus on your recovery and participate in therapy and other supportive services.
Improved Treatment Retention
Individuals receiving MAT are more likely to stay in treatment and complete their recovery program. This increases the likelihood of achieving long-term sobriety and reducing the risk of relapse.
Lower Risk of Overdose
MAT significantly reduces the risk of overdose by providing a safer alternative to illicit drug use. Medications like naloxone (Narcan) can also be used to reverse opioid overdoses, providing a critical safety net for individuals in recovery.
Enhanced Quality of Life
By stabilizing your condition and reducing the negative impacts of substance use, MAT helps improve your overall quality of life. It allows you to focus on rebuilding your life, improving relationships, and achieving your personal and professional goals.
