Most Common Client Question

“Will I be trading one addiction for another?”

Answer: No, when used as prescribed, MAT helps stabilize brain chemistry and reduce harmful behaviors. It’s a proven, evidence-based treatment, not a replacement for addiction.

“How is MAT different from other treatments?”

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is different because it uses both medicine and counseling together. While many programs focus only on therapy or detox, MAT also helps with the physical side of addiction. The medicine works by calming the brain, lowering cravings, and blocking the “high” from opioids. This makes it easier to focus on your recovery and feel more balanced, both in your body and your mind.

Common questions

About medication-assisted treatment

Suboxone combines buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal without producing the same "full" opioid effect as drugs like heroin, fentanyl, or oxycodone) with naloxone, an opioid antagonist included mainly to discourage misuse (especially injection).
Medication-assisted treatment prevents withdrawal symptoms, reduces cravings, and lowers the risk of relapse or overdose, giving you a stable foundation while you do the deeper work of recovery.
MAT is typically a long-term treatment. Your provider will work with you to find the right duration. The goal is lasting stability, not a rushed taper.
In most cases, yes. We accept most major insurance plans and verify your benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprises.
An integrated approach delivered with compassion, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. Every MAT client receives a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and laboratory studies, not just a prescription.
