Addiction is unique. In fact, most of those who struggle with addiction actually experience other underlying issues. Whether it is trauma, painful past experiences, an untreated or undiagnosed mental illness, or anything else, we all have different struggles. These struggles make us unique, they are also one of the ways that addiction can be unique for each individual. Sometimes, this means that it requires more than one treatment type or philosophy to treat a person. That is okay. That is healthy. At East Coast Recovery, we know that one of the most effective ways to help process these underlying causes surrounding addiction is to take a step back, disconnect from your self and reconnect with a community who understands.

Medication-assisted treatment, which is commonly referred to as MAT, is a dynamic approach to opioid addiction treatment for adults. MAT incorporates prescription medications to help people stop using opioids and therapy to help them build a foundation for lifelong recovery. The medications that are authorized for use in MAT programs in the U.S. have been closely studied for several years, and they have documented histories of safety and effectiveness. These medications can ease the cravings and other distressing symptoms of opioid withdrawal, which can make it easier for people to end their opioid use. However, medication alone cannot address the behavioral, psychological, and social aspects of opioid addiction and recovery. This is why counseling is such an integral part of the MAT experience. During counseling sessions, adults can identify the events and circumstances that may threaten to undermine their recovery. They can also develop skills in important areas such as conflict resolution and stress management. These new capabilities can empower them to respond to difficult situations in a healthier manner without resorting to opioid abuse or other self-defeating behaviors.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that offers a path to recovery for adults whose lives have been disrupted by addictions to heroin, morphine, prescription painkillers, and other opioids. The two main components of MAT are prescription medication and therapy. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved several medications for use in authorized MAT programs. These medications, which can ease many of the symptoms of opioid withdrawal, have proved to be safe when taken on either a short- or long-term basis. When a person takes one of these medications as directed by a doctor, they may find it easier to end their opioid use. Of course, medication alone cannot address the social, psychological, and behavioral aspects of opioid addiction and recovery. This is why counseling is such an important part of MAT. During counseling sessions, adults can gain valuable information about the disease of addiction. They can also identify the concerns or circumstances that may have caused them to begin abusing opioids. Counseling can then help them learn how to respond to these triggers in a healthier manner without resorting to opioid abuse.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a multifaceted approach to opioid addiction treatment. For adults who take part in MAT, the benefits include receiving prescription medication that can ease the symptoms of opioid withdrawal and participating in counseling sessions that can prepare them for recovery. Many reputable organizations, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), have endorsed MAT as an effective means of treating opioid addiction. The prescription medications that are authorized to be used in MAT programs in the U.S. can lessen the cravings and other withdrawal symptoms that occur when a person ends their opioid use. When they are taken as directed within the context of a MAT program, these medications can make it easier for a person to stop using opioids. When a person is no longer under the influence of opioids, they can regain the focus and clarity they need to fully engage in the counseling component of MAT. Counseling sessions can be sources of information, guidance, and shared support for people who are working to gain a solid foothold in early recovery.
