What Is MAT and How Does It Support Recovery?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a powerful, evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to treat substance use disorders, especially opioid and alcohol addiction.
Unlike going cold turkey, MAT reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings, making the recovery journey safer and more effective. Medications like naltrexone, buprenorphine, and acamprosate target the brain to help restore balance and minimize relapse risk.
MAT at Saddleback Recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s tailored to each person’s needs and carefully monitored by medical professionals to ensure safety and success.
