What is MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment)?

For patients struggling with addiction to opiates (oxycodone/Percocet, hydrocodone/Vicodin, Dilaudid, fentanyl, and heroin), Medication-Assisted Treatment (also known as MAT) is life-saving, evidence-based, recommended treatment.

MAT Efficiency & Patient Outcomes

MAT has been rigorously tested and is scientifically proven to be effective treatment for people with addiction to opioids:
‍
Many patients enter detox facilities to come off opioids in a safe way.  After they are detoxed, if they leave and are NOT started on MAT, 90% of them will relapse within 3 months, putting them at high risk for overdose and death. However, when patients are started on MAT, 50% of them will remain in recovery 1 year later.
‍
Other studies have demonstrated that patients NOT on MAT are more than THREE TIMES as likely to overdose and die compared to those who remain on MAT.
‍
So, these medications work and they save lives.

Behavioral Health Treatments and Services

Behavioral health treatments and services help people with common mental illnesses and substance use disorders.

Behavioral health treatments are ways of helping people with mental illnesses or substance use disorders. For example, counseling and more specialized psychotherapies seek to change behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and how people see and understand situations. Medications for mental and substance use disorders provide significant relief for many people and help manage symptoms to the point where people can use other strategies to pursue recovery.

For many people, the most effective behavioral health approach involves a combination of counseling and medication. Early treatment is best. A trained professional should do a full evaluation to make the diagnosis. No single treatment works best. Treatments must address each person’s needs and symptoms.
