Understanding MAT
Medication-assisted treatment
There are many different medications used to treat substance use disorder. Your treatment team will work to create a plan of care that is specific to your recovery plan. Research has shown that combining therapy with medications successfully treats substance use disorders and sustain recovery long term!
Tele Med Clinix is proud to provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) services to our patients. Currently, there are many different medications - such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, and various anti-craving medications - used to treat substance use disorders (SUD).
To select the best medication for you, our care team will schedule an evaluation via telemedicine or in-clinic appointment.
For medication-assisted treatment to be effective, it is important to continue receiving regular mental health treatment from our certified addiction professionals or medical providers.
When used together, these two services have proven to be extremely effective in long-term SUD recovery.
