Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Evidence-Based Support for Sustainable Sobriety

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven approach that combines medications with therapy to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders. This method reduces cravings, stabilizes the body, and creates the foundation for long-term recovery.

At Heartland Recovery Center, our outpatient MAT program is tailored to your needs. We offer supportive care that addresses both physical symptoms and psychological challenges, helping you take meaningful steps toward a healthier, substance-free life.

Combining Medical Care and Counseling for Lasting Change

Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment

MAT uses FDA-approved medications alongside counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders more effectively. The medications reduce withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings, giving individuals a better chance of staying engaged in treatment.

MAT can be beneficial for:

  • Opioid use disorder, including heroin and prescription painkillers

  • Alcohol use disorder with a history of withdrawal or relapse

  • Individuals at high risk of overdose or recurrence

  • Clients needing medical support while beginning therapy

This integrated approach improves treatment retention, reduces the risk of relapse, and supports safer, more manageable recovery journeys.

Why MAT Matters

Substance use disorders often involve both intense physical dependence and overwhelming psychological cravings. Medication-Assisted Treatment helps create a stable foundation—so individuals can engage in therapy and make lasting lifestyle changes without being derailed by withdrawal symptoms.

Key benefits of MAT include:

  • Significantly reduced cravings, lowering the risk of relapse

  • Greater participation and consistency in counseling and support services

  • Enhanced physical health and emotional stability

  • Improved long-term success rates for those recovering from opioid or alcohol addiction

Whether you’re starting treatment for the first time or returning after a setback, MAT delivers the medical and emotional support necessary to move forward with confidence.
