What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment or M.A.T for short is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. MAT can help sustain recovery. (SAMHSA) M.A.T uses medicine like naltrexone (Vivitrol)buprenorphine (Suboxone) or methadone to curb an addict’s craving for the opiate they are dependent on.

How Vivitrol can Treat Alcoholism

At Pinnacle Wellness Group, we use the method of Medication-Assisted Treatment to treat those who are alcohol dependent. Naltrexone (Vivitrol) blocks the euphoric effects and feelings of intoxication. This allows people with alcohol addiction to stop or reduce their drinking behaviors enough to remain motivated to stay in treatment and avoid relapses. Vivitrol is our drug of choice because it works to minimize cravings for alcohol. When administered in addition to therapy, Vivitrol has proven to result in a higher recovery rate and lower an alcoholics chance of relapsing.
