What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, uses FDA-approved medications alongside counseling and various behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. MAT is an evidence-based standard of care for opioid use disorder and can also be used for alcohol use disorder. Medication helps to reduce cravings and stabilize the brain and body.
At San Antonio Recovery Center, MAT is part of every level of care, including detox and residential treatment. It can also be combined with intensive outpatient (IOP) or partial hospitalization.
