What are the benefits of choosing medication as a treatment option?

Medication-assisted treatment is one part of addiction recovery program’s treatment for substance use. FDA-approved medications are used to calm overly-active areas of the brain, reduce cravings and increase your chances of long term recovery from addiction.

Along with MAT, our addiction centers offer a state-of-the-art approach to help begin your journey towards successful recovery. You will learn coping skills and become more aware of your relapse triggers.

What are the medications used for treatment of opioid and alcohol addiction?

• revia – a non-addictive, non-narcotic blocking agent
• suboxone – a combination of burprenorphine & naloxone, which acts as an anti-craving medication
• vivitrol – a once-monthly naltrexone injection which reduces odds of relapse
