ADDICTION HELP

​MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) Program:

MAT Purpose Statement: MyCare Health Center’s MAT Program aims to provide a safe place to receive medication assisted treatment for opioid and/or alcohol substance use disorder using a combination of medication and counseling to help individuals succeed in regaining control of their lives.

Understanding Medication Assisted Treatment:

The ultimate goal of MAT is full recovery, including the ability to live a self-directed life.  Addiction cannot be cured but can be managed. Most people cannot recover alone. MAT combines the use of medication and behavioral therapy to treat people who have a substance use disorder, such as opioids and/or alcohol, regain optimal functioning and healthy living.  Therapy can help work through the psychological aspects of dependence. Medication can help address the physical aspects in the brain and lessen cravings; providing the individual with a substance use disorder the chance to focus on their recovery.
