Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Los Angeles, California is the use of medications combined with counseling and behavioral therapies. Like the approach we use at No Matter What, our MAT program uses a whole patient approach when treating substance use disorders and addiction.
Typically, MAT is used to treat alcohol use disorders and opioid addiction (everything from heroin to prescription medication that contains opiates). Our medication-assisted treatment program in Los Angeles is tailored and personalized for each of our clients circumstances to guide them into addiction recovery.
We primarily use MAT to treat patients suffering from serious opioid use disorders. There are three FDA-approved drugs that we might use to help someone during recovery. These are:
At No Matter What Recovery, we also understand MAT isn’t a cure-all solution to addiction but it can help. We utilize it along with our other therapies and treatment programs to help you recover.
We focus on healing the person as a whole, mind, body, and soul. To do so, we provide continuous support and care for every person that walks through our doors.
Our goal for our addiction treatment center is to combine evidence-based methods with holistic therapies, such as reiki and sound bath. We also can provide a dual diagnosis approach to recovery, which can help those struggling with both substance abuse disorders and mental health conditions.
Methadone and suboxone are among the most common prescription medications used as a components in medication assisted treatment. They both help relieve opioid withdrawal symptoms in different ways. We utilize both of these medications at our medication assisted treatment program in Los Angeles.
Suboxone is one of the brand name versions of the combination buprenorphine-nalaxone. This prescription medication acts as a pain reliever providing the opioids addicts with a replacement for the opioids they were abusing.
This medication helps reduce the craving and withdrawal symptoms the individual may exhibit while undergoing detox. After successfully going through MAT rehab in Los Angeles with No Matter What Recovery, individuals are then ready to take the next step in their recovery process.
Methadone is the generic name for Dolophine and Methadose. Methadone alters how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. By blocking the euphoric effects of opiate drugs, such as heroin, morphine, and codeine, as well as others like oxycodone and hydrocodone, it reduces the painful symptoms of opiate withdrawal.
The only brand of naltrexone that has been approved by the FDA for MAT is Vivitrol. Naltrexone can be used both for alcohol and opioid use disorders. A huge advantage of using naltrexone in MAT is that it is not addictive and thus does not cause any withdrawal symptoms. Like other medications, it is capable of blocking opioid receptors and completely suppressing opioid cravings.
