Midtown Health Center also offers Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid recovery. This creates a high level of success for our patients.
MAT is more than just taking a medication to reduce cravings. MAT addresses treatment gaps by combining FDA approved medications with medical care, behavioral therapy interventions, and case management to address the whole patients needs.
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opiate use disorder combines counseling and medial treatment, with prescription medications to address patients opiate use. These medications help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms that come from stopping opioid use, helping patients focus on other aspects of their treatment plan to recovery. Patients in the MAT program will be under close evaluation and expected to follow medical advice from the provider and their staff. Patients must establish health care at Midtown Health Center prior to starting MAT treatment.
Since MAT involves prescription medications, it is not for everyone. Some medications are unsafe for people with certain health conditions. It is important for a candidate to discuss one’s health conditions with our providers experienced in MAT. They will let you know about the risks, treatment options and requirements for successfully completing treatment.
Research shows that MAT can increase the chances of successful recovery from opiate use, but medications alone are usually not enough. Midtown Health Center’s Integrated care model brings Medical, behavioral health, and support services together in collaboration with the patients existing support structure to develop a recovery environment that fosters high outcomes and patient success.
