Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Drug & Alcohol Detox in a Safe and Secure Environment

The Substance Abuse and Mental Services Health Administration (SAMHSA) defines Medically Assisted Treatment as “the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.”

In our residential treatment centers, Pathways Recovery provides Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) in a secure and comfortable environment to guide our clients in their journey of recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. From pharmaceutical addictions to prescription drugs like Vicodin, Oxycontin, Percocet, Xanax, Valium, and others, to alcohol and street drugs such as heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and many others, our residential treatment centers offer medically assisted treatment that will be personalized to your needs.

Most people who have at least some experience with addiction understand the importance of rehab. Not everyone understands that the rehab experience is different for each person. In some cases, the solution to overcoming addiction may involve medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT has a number of benefits that can provide a foundation for the recovery process and give people with addiction a higher chance of completing treatment and continuing on the journey of sobriety towards a normal life free of drugs and alcohol. 

Medication-assisted treatment programs are becoming more and more popular when it comes to rehab treatment because they have a tremendous impact on the success rate of treatment programs as a whole and can often make the difference between continued recovery and relapse.

What is MAT?

Medically assisted treatment in Sacramento is a type of rehab treatment program that involves the use of medication to help with the treatment process in a variety of ways. The range of medications that can be used to help with the addiction treatment process is quite broad and can help with different parts of the process or specific issues. 

Most often, medications are used to manage the detox process and mitigate many of the symptoms of withdrawal that accompany detox. This includes the management of cravings and urges to use drugs, as well as treating specific symptoms of withdrawal like nausea, vomiting, and fatigue.

Medication can also hinder the effects of a drug such as alcohol so that the person does not feel the desired effects of drinking, making them less likely to relapse.  Besides symptom reduction, medication-assisted treatment also has certain other uses that are beneficial for those in rehab. 

For example, addiction can cause new health problems or worsen existing health issues, which can complicate treatment. In cases where clients have health risks, either associated with addiction or existing issues, medication can be used to help manage these health risks so that the treatment process can run more smoothly. 

Lastly, medication is often used in conjunction with treatment for co-occurring disorders. Management of mental health conditions often requires medication such as anti-anxiety meds, antidepressants, and others administered in a controlled setting. In contrast, the underlying cause of both mental illness and addiction can be dealt with. 

What Are the Benefits of Medication Assisted Treatment Programs? ​

There are a number of ways that people suffering from addiction can benefit from a medication assisted treatment program in Sacramento. 

MAT programs make it possible for many people who have severe addictions to undergo treatment. Sometimes the withdrawal symptoms alone are enough to make a person relapse. The proper use of medication can make symptoms more tolerable and actually reduce the overall effects of withdrawal in even the most extreme addiction cases. 

Health management and medication make it possible to cope with and sometimes reverse the effects that addiction has had on a person’s body. The effects of long-term drug and alcohol abuse can be devastating. Still, it is possible to manage health concerns and lead a healthy life thanks to medication-assisted treatment. 

Medication-assisted treatment is also very beneficial for those with mental health disorders. Not only do medications help manage mental illness symptoms, but they can also help bridge the gap between using drugs and alcohol to cope and function without them and return to a healthy life.
