Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

A Science-Based Approach to Lasting Recovery
At Essence Recovery Center, we provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as part of a comprehensive strategy to help individuals overcome substance use disorders. This evidence-based approach combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and counseling to support long-term recovery.

How MAT Supports Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment is designed to reduce withdrawal symptoms, curb cravings, and restore brain chemistry. By integrating MAT into a personalized treatment plan, individuals experience:

  • Improved Stability – MAT helps regulate brain function, reducing the highs and lows associated with addiction.

  • Lower Risk of Relapse – By managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, MAT increases the chances of sustained recovery.

  • Better Engagement in Therapy – Reduced discomfort allows individuals to focus on therapy, making behavioral interventions more effective.

  • Comprehensive Care – Combining medication with counseling and lifestyle adjustments enhances overall treatment outcomes.

Our MAT program includes medications approved by the FDA to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders. These medications are prescribed and monitored by our experienced medical team.

Integrating MAT with Therapy

While medication helps with physical symptoms, therapy is essential for long-term success. Our MAT program includes:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Identifying triggers and building coping strategies.

  • Group Therapy – Creating peer support networks for encouragement and accountability.

  • Family Counseling – Strengthening relationships to foster a supportive recovery environment.

  • Holistic Wellness Practices – Incorporating mindfulness, nutrition, and exercise for overall well-being.
