Because of its proven effectiveness, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs are growing in popularity throughout Orange County, CA. For our more severe substance use disorders, Sober Partners’ uses MAT at our own Huntington Beach Rehabs for both detox and rehabilitation.
Research shows that a combination of medication and therapy can successfully treat addiction disorders. Medication Assisted Treatment is one of the most effective forms of therapy for substance use disorders but is widely misunderstood.
MAT is primarily used for the treatment of addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription pain relievers that contain opiates. The prescribed medication operates to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and normalize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug.
One common treatment option involves the use of medication-assisted treatment — such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Sober Partners offers MAT protocols for both Opioid Use Disorder & Alcohol Use Disorders.
