Medication-Assisted Treatment?

A medication-assisted treatment program (MAT program) is an essential part of the recovery process for those struggling with addiction. This form of treatment utilizes medication, counseling, and other supportive services to provide patients with a comprehensive approach to overcoming addiction. Call (866) 931-9677 to speak with someone from Florida Helps Florida’s staff about our medication-assisted treatment program in Florida, as well as our other addiction treatment programs.

What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment is a form of addiction treatment that combines counseling, therapy, and support services with medications. The three drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used in MAT are:

Methadone

This prescription medication activates opioid receptors without producing euphoric or mind-altering effects associated with opioids like heroin or prescription painkillers.

Buprenorphine/naloxone

This combination is generally known by the brand name Suboxone. This combination works similarly to methadone, but naloxone also helps prevent abuse potential if taken at higher doses than prescribed.

Naltrexone

This prescription medication blocks opioid receptors to reduce cravings and prevent patients from feeling any positive effects if they relapse on drugs or alcohol.
These FDA-approved drugs can help patients remain sober over the long term, even when exposed to triggers or stressors that could lead them back into using drugs or alcohol. This therapy is beneficial for those struggling with opioid addiction as it helps to ease withdrawal symptoms and control cravings. MAT for other types of addiction, such as alcohol and cocaine, is also available.

What to Expect from a Medication-Assisted Treatment Program

When you enroll in a medication-assisted treatment program in Florida, there are several things you can expect from your care team, including:

Comprehensive care plans tailored specifically for your individual needs

Ongoing assessments and evaluations

Access to counseling sessions

Access to evidence-based treatment such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)

Access to support groups

Education on how to cope with triggers

Guidance on relapse prevention strategies

Additionally, most MAT programs offer 24/7 support in case urgent medical attention is needed due to relapse or other reasons related to addiction recovery.

How Does a MAT Program for Addiction Treatment Work?

A successful MAT program begins with an initial assessment where a care team will evaluate your physical and mental health status before deciding on a course of action that best suits your individual needs. After completing this assessment, your care team will create a customized plan for you that includes access to medications and counseling sessions. These sessions will focus on managing stressors and developing healthy coping skills.
During these sessions, your healthcare provider will continue to monitor progress via regular assessments and may adjust medications accordingly if necessary until desired outcomes have been achieved.
