Medication-Assisted Treatment Programs

QUESTIONS?

Reach out to Carmel Treatment Center today

At Carmel Treatment Center, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to provide our clients with the essential tools and support needed for lasting recovery. MAT utilizes a “whole-patient” approach, combining medication with cognitive and behavioral therapies.

Research indicates that using medication alongside therapy is one of the most effective methods for overcoming addiction. MAT is also widely used to prevent and reduce the risk of opioid overdoses, including those from heroin and prescription pain relievers.

Prescribed medications can help normalize brain chemistry, block the intoxicating effects of alcohol and opioids, and reduce cravings. Over time, these medications assist in breaking the cycle of dependency, allowing individuals to discontinue drug and alcohol use without experiencing intense withdrawal symptoms.

What are the benefits of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

There are many reasons to start a Medication-Assisted Treatment such as:

  • Minimize intense cravings
  • Enable clients to fully participate in therapy
  • Reduce withdrawal symptoms
  • Help reduce chance of relapse
  • Create more mental stability

What is suboxone treatment?

Suboxone treatment is one of the most common types of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).  It’s one of the  few medications approved for the long-term treatment of opioid addiction. 

 In the beginning of recovery, willpower may not be enough. Withdrawal symptoms and persistent cravings are one of the two most difficult parts of the disease, but with suboxone those elements are basically eliminated for opioid users. 

 You may benefit from a suboxone treatment if:

  • You have previously relapsed on opioids
  • You are having trouble stopping even though you desperately want to 
  • You are having intense cravings
  • You are experiencing pain, agitation, mood swings, and insomnia when stopping

 If this sounds like you, suboxone treatment may be a great option for you.

What is Vivitrol treatment?

Vivitrol is the brand name for naltrexone, a medication designed to help individuals abstain from drugs and alcohol. It is particularly effective in reducing cravings for alcohol and opioids, aiding in the prevention of relapse. Research shows that Vivitrol can help people maintain their health and stay committed to their sobriety journey.

After completing the detox process and achieving stability, individuals can begin Vivitrol treatment as part of their ongoing recovery plan.
