Medication Assisted Treatment Clinic

We combat the disease of addiction with medication assisted treatment as part of a comprehensive treatment approach.

mat clinic ohioThe FDA defines medication assisted treatment or MAT as the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery.

Beyond opioid addiction, MAT can also be effective during addiction treatment for other forms of drug or alcohol addiction. We treat addiction with FDA-approved medicines to help you focus on your recovery. We prescribe medicines such as Suboxone (a medication combining buprenorphine and naloxone), Vivitrol (a naltrexone medication), and Sublocade (a buprenorphine medication).

BENEFITS OF MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENTS

When you start a BrightView program, you will be prescribed medication to ease withdrawal symptoms. These medications work with the dopamine receptors in your brain just like opioids do, but they don’t make you feel any of the narcotic effects. This way, they allow us to ease your symptoms and keep you as comfortable as possible throughout your withdrawal from opioid dependence.

You will still have a physical dependence on Suboxone, but you won’t have the cravings or compulsions you did with opioids. It’s important to understand that addiction is a brain disease that negatively affects your behavior. Dependence is a medically treatable physical condition you can recover from. So, you’re not trading one substance abuse addiction for another.

Our goal at BrightView is to provide addiction treatment options that will help you achieve long-term recovery. In addition to addiction medicine, your treatment plan will focus on your overall wellbeing, including your mental health. We incorporate both individual and group therapy in our addiction treatment services so that you can address the challenges that come along with the disease of addiction.

SUCCESSFUL ADDICTION TREATMENT EASES THE EFFECTS OF OPIOID ABUSE INCLUDING:

  • Compulsive Behaviors
  • Excessive Substance Use
  • Constant Cravings
  • Other Symptoms Of Addiction

Research shows that when combined with counseling and therapies, MAT can successfully treat substance use disorders. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) notes that medication assisted treatment can also help sustain recovery. MAT is proven to not only be clinically effective but has also been shown to significantly reduce the need for inpatient detoxification services for individuals addicted to opioids,  prescription pain medication, fentanyl or heroin. Substance use disorder treatment providers that use MAT must also include behavioral therapies and counseling into their treatment programs.

Long-term recovery helps reduce the chances of contracting diseases related to intravenous drug use like Hepatitis C and HIV. This is just one of the reasons we incorporate MAT into our treatment approach. We believe all of our patients are capable of beating the disease of drug addiction and our outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are designed for long-term success.
