Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Uplift Sobriety
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven, evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with comprehensive therapy and support to help individuals overcome opioid, alcohol, and substance use disorders. At Uplift Sobriety, we utilize MAT to reduce withdrawal symptoms, curb cravings, and support long-term recovery in a safe and controlled manner.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
MAT is an integrated treatment approach designed to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. By using medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, MAT helps individuals maintain sobriety and regain stability in their lives.
Key Benefits of MAT:
- Reduces Withdrawal Symptoms: Eases discomfort during detox and early recovery.
- Minimizes Cravings: Helps prevent relapse by stabilizing brain chemistry.
- Supports Long-Term Sobriety: Increases treatment retention and success rates.
- Improves Mental Health: Reduces anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.
- Enhances Overall Quality of Life: Allows individuals to focus on rebuilding their personal and professional lives.
Medications Used in MAT
At Uplift Sobriety, we offer FDA-approved medications that are safely prescribed and monitored by medical professionals.
Opioid Use Disorder Medications
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex): Reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing a high.
- Methadone: A long-acting opioid agonist that helps individuals transition to sobriety.
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol): Blocks opioid effects and reduces the risk of relapse.
Alcohol Use Disorder Medications
- Disulfiram (Antabuse): Creates an aversive reaction to alcohol, discouraging use.
- Acamprosate (Campral): Helps restore chemical balance in the brain to reduce alcohol cravings.
- Naltrexone: Reduces alcohol cravings and the pleasurable effects of drinking.
MAT is not a one-size-fits-all approach—our medical team customizes each treatment plan to fit the unique needs of each client.
