Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. MAT is most commonly used for opioid and alcohol addiction, helping clients reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and stabilize their recovery.
At WindanSea Recovery, our MAT program is always paired with therapy and holistic practices, ensuring that clients not only find physical relief but also address the emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of healing.
MAT provides critical support for individuals who may otherwise struggle to maintain sobriety. Benefits include:
Reducing or eliminating withdrawal symptoms.
Decreasing intense cravings that lead to relapse.
Stabilizing brain chemistry and physical health.
Allowing clients to fully engage in therapy and recovery.
Supporting long-term sobriety with medical and clinical oversight.
Our MAT program is personalized and carefully monitored:
Assessment: Each client undergoes a thorough evaluation to determine if MAT is appropriate.
Medication Plan: FDA-approved medications such as Suboxone, Vivitrol, or naltrexone may be prescribed based on the client’s needs.
Counseling & Therapy: MAT is integrated with individual therapy, group sessions, and relapse prevention education.
Monitoring: Clients are regularly monitored to ensure safety, effectiveness, and progress.
Holistic Care: Yoga, meditation, surf therapy, and other holistic practices complement medical support.
MAT is highly effective for individuals who:
Struggle with opioid use disorder (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers).
Are dependent on alcohol and experience severe cravings or withdrawal.
Have tried abstinence-only recovery methods without success.
Need additional stabilization to engage fully in therapy.
Benefit from medical support while building long-term coping strategies.
Depending on the client’s needs, MAT may include:
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone): Reduces opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Methadone: A long-acting opioid agonist used for stabilization (when appropriate).
Naltrexone (oral or injectable): Blocks the effects of opioids and reduces alcohol cravings.
Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone): Monthly injection that prevents relapse in opioid or alcohol use disorders.
All medications are prescribed and monitored by licensed professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
