What is medication for addiction treatment?

Medication for addiction treatment (MAT), formally called medication assisted treatment, involves the use of medications combined with behavioral therapies. MAT provides a well-rounded approach to treating SUDs and helps sustain long-term recovery. Medications typically offered in an MAT program include Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol, and sometimes Methadone. These medications are FDA-approved, safe and effective to use when prescribed by a doctor. They normalize body functions and brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of substances, and relieve physiological cravings.

This treatment approach has been shown to:

• DECREASE: illicit substance use and criminal activity
• IMPROVE: birth outcomes among pregnant women struggling with SUDs, and chances of a patient’s addiction recovery success
• INCREASE: a patient’s ability to gain and maintain employment, and maintain recovery

When to start considering drug rehab?

Seeking professional help could be beneficial for those who are worried about themselves or a loved one who is struggling with SUD. When searching for an addiction treatment center, try some of these tips and tools:

• REACH OUT: If you already have a drug rehab in mind, reach out to them to find out more about their services.
• SAMHSA LOCATOR TOOL: Use the SAMHSA locator tool to track down a treatment center in your area. This tool allows you to filter search by state, city, distance, facility type and type of care.
• ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS: Confide in loved ones or friends, or a medical professional for recommendations on where to seek treatment.
