Medication-Assisted Treatment

If you or a loved one is suffering from drug or alcohol abuse, you don’t have to battle your dependence alone.  Merciful Minds can help you get on the road to recovery. Our trained and caring staff can help you overcome your dependency and reclaim your life free of the grips of dependence.

What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) gives you another avenue for overcoming your dependence to alcohol or drugs through the use of doctor-prescribed medications, such as suboxone or vivitrol injections. MAT works in conjunction with other forms of therapy such as counseling, group therapy, and behavioral therapy.

We utilize MAT to help patients recover from dependence to opioids, such as heroin and prescription pain relievers. We can also use it for other types of dependence depending on your specific condition. Keep in mind that medication is not a primary treatment at Merciful Minds, however when used with other types of treatments, it can be effective in helping you overcome your dependency.
