What is medication-assisted treatment?

MAT is an evidence-based approach to addiction recovery that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. It’s most commonly used to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders and designed to reduce cravings, ease difficult withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term sobriety.

At Sheridan Grove Recovery, we use MAT as part of a comprehensive treatment that utilizes medications like Suboxone, Subutex, and Vivitrol. All medications are prescribed and monitored by licensed professionals to promote stability and healing.

Who is MAT for?

MAT is ideal for individuals who:

  • Are recovering from opioid or alcohol dependence
  • Have experienced multiple relapses or chronic cravings
  • Are transitioning out of detox and need additional support managing symptoms

Whether it’s your first time in treatment or you’re returning after a relapse, MAT can provide the foundation for a more successful recovery journey.

When is medication-assisted treatment essential?

Medication-assisted treatment is often crucial for people who:

  • Are dependent on opioids or alcohol
  • Experience severe withdrawal symptoms or have other medical risks
  • Have attempted sobriety without medication and have been unsuccessful
  • Need additional support to stay committed to recovery

At Sheridan Grove, we don’t assume MAT is right for everyone. Our treatment plans are customized based on a client’s health history, addiction severity, substance type, and long-term goals.
