TRANSCRIPT:

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of addiction medicines to fight opioid and alcohol dependence. It is often suggested for people whose cravings are so strong that they are unable to focus on their recovery.

Common addiction medicines include: methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. These medications block the effects of opioids and alcohol, regaining control of the brain. They help by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, lowering the risk of relapse, and increasing focus. Addiction medicine must be administered by a licensed professional. MAT works best when paired with counseling and behavioral therapy.

If you or anyone you know needs addiction treatment, call Mountainside at 860-824-1397.
