Medication-Assisted Treatment Support for Men
Even though we are not a MAT Supplier or Provider, and we are not a Detox facility, we support the use of Sublocade & Vivitrol Medication-Assisted Treatments (MAT)
Men who are struggling with addiction from substances such as opioids, alcohol, or heroin, find it very difficult to stay in recovery when transitioning out of treatment programs. Addiction creates a deep physical dependency that often makes the chances of relapse extremely high and even more so if someone had a long history of dependence.
Evidence shows that a combination of MAT with recovery therapies can treat substance use disorders successfully and help sustain recovery, as well as, MAT is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
MAT support programs like ours are tailored to meet individual needs, therefore, we recommend Medication-Assisted Treatment Programs for men who are at high risk of relapse when transitioning treatment programs.
