For someone struggling with a substance use disorder (SUD), a rehab clinic can be a valuable source of help and a great option for treatment. At BrightView, we offer addiction treatment as part of our medication for addiction treatment (MAT) program. Reach out to us at 8335104357 to learn more about our services and programs.

What is medication for addiction treatment (MAT)?

Medication for addiction treatment (MAT) is a safe and effective treatment option that combines medication with behavioral therapies. This comprehensive approach to treatment aims to cover all bases of SUD and helps sustain long-term recovery goals. The medications normalize brain chemistry and body functions, blocking the euphoric effects of substances, minimizing withdrawal symptoms and relieving cravings. Behavioral therapies help determine individual needs, uncover the root causes of SUD, and teach healthy coping mechanisms.

How can a rehab clinic help?

Suboxone is a brand name of a buprenorphine/naloxone medication. Other brand names include Sublocade, Brixadi, and Subutex. It is an opioid antagonist in the MAT family. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, meaning that it activates the same receptors in the brain as opioids but with less intensity. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist, which means that it blocks the effects of opioids.

Here are some additional ways Suboxone helps fight against addiction.

  • REDUCE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS: Buprenorphine and naloxone work together to decrease severity of withdrawal symptoms and reduce a patient’s long-term dependence on opioids.
  • SAFE & EFFECTIVE: All MAT medications are FDA approved and have been thoroughly researched. Additionally, Suboxone has a low potential for misuse.
  • REVERSES EFFECTS: Suboxone helps reverse some of the changes that long-term opioid use causes in the brain.

With addiction treatment, patients can begin to rebuild their lives and create a foundation for long-term recovery.
