Exploring Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Salubre Care

If you’re struggling with addiction, you’re not alone. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, “more than 21 million American adults suffer from some form of substance abuse or dependence.” If you’re ready to get help, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) might be the right step for you. Here’s what you need to know about MAT at Salubre Care in Baton Rouge, LA.

What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
MAT is a type of treatment that combines behavioral therapy and medications to treat substance abuse disorders. The idea behind MAT is that by treating both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, patients are more likely to succeed in recovery.

At Salubre Care, we offer MAT for opioid use disorders. Opioid use disorders can be very difficult to overcome without help, but with MAT, we’ve seen patients achieve long-term sobriety. If you’re struggling with an opioid use disorder, we encourage you to reach out to us and learn more about our program.

What Medications are Used in MAT?
The most common medication used in MAT for opioid use disorders is methadone. Methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid that is safe and effective when used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Other medications that might be used include buprenorphine and naltrexone.

At Salubre Care, we individualize our treatment plans to meet the needs of each patient. This means that the specific medications used in your MAT plan will be based on your unique situation and needs.
