What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders that combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies. At Forward Health Ohio, we are committed to using the latest research and best practices to help our clients achieve lasting recovery. That’s why we offer a range of MAT options to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.

MAT is a highly effective treatment approach for opioid and alcohol use disorders. The medications used in MAT work by reducing withdrawal symptoms, decreasing cravings, and blocking the effects of drugs or alcohol. This allows clients to focus on their recovery and engage in counseling and behavioral therapies.

At Forward Health Ohio, we offer several FDA-approved medications for MAT, including buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone. Our team works closely with clients to determine the medication that is best suited to their needs and goals. We also monitor clients closely throughout treatment to ensure that they are receiving the appropriate dosage and support.

In addition to medication, our MAT program includes counseling and behavioral therapies. Our licensed therapists have expertise in working with individuals who are struggling with addiction, and they use evidence-based approaches to help clients develop the skills and strategies they need to achieve lasting recovery. Counseling and behavioral therapies can also help clients address underlying issues that may be contributing to their addiction.

At Forward Health Ohio, we take a holistic approach to care that addresses the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of addiction. We believe that recovery is possible for everyone, and that MAT can be a powerful tool in the recovery process. That’s why we offer a range of other services to support our client’s recovery, including individual therapy, group therapy, and holistic therapies such as yoga and meditation.

Our team at Forward Health Ohio is committed to providing our clients with the highest level of care and support. We understand that addiction is a complex disease that affects each individual differently. That’s why we take a personalized approach to treatment that is tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.
