Today, there are many successful approaches to addiction recovery. Because no two people’s experiences are the same, everyone deserves individualized treatment options—from detox to post-recovery planning. At San Antonio Recovery Center, we use medication-assisted treatment or MAT as a safe and effective tool alongside evidence-based and alternative therapies to help clients achieve full recovery.
If you or someone you know is ready for an addiction rehab program in San Antonio, call San Antonio Recovery Center today. Our inpatient and outpatient programs offer MAT for addiction recovery. Reach our staff now at 866.957.7885 to find out if Medication-assisted treatment is right for you.
It may sound a bit odd to begin addiction recovery with prescription medication. However, medication-assisted treatment uses highly effective medications to lessen withdrawal effects and ease detox symptoms. In fact, various types of medication-assisted treatment have been part of addiction recovery since the early 1930s. Popularized in the 1970s, MAT is now a standard approach to addiction recovery.
During addiction, the brain becomes dependent on drugs or alcohol for certain chemical processes. Certain medications can help the brain adjust and ween off of these chemicals as it begins to produce its own dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and other naturally occurring neurotransmitters. How effective is it? Studies show that MAT increases patient survival rates and reduces the risk of relapse and overdose.
MAT may not be right for everyone, however, many clients see success with various medications in conjunction with psychiatric therapy. Common MAT treatments include:
MAT may be right for you if you:
MAT is most common for opioid and opiate withdrawal. Because opioids change a person’s brain chemistry, it can be especially hard to stop taking them. Medication can slowly ween the brain and body off of opioids, preventing relapse and other health complications. This can allow people to use medication assistance during inpatient and outpatient recovery to get their life back on track. A medication-assisted treatment program is also highly successful for alcohol addiction and other medication can ease withdrawal and ween clients off prescription or illicit drugs.
If you or someone in your life is ready to take steps toward recovery, the MAT addiction treatment program at San Antonio Recovery Center can help.
