Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders, particularly opioid addiction. It combines the use of medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone, with counseling and behavioral therapies. This combination helps to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier for individuals to focus on their recovery. MAT is designed to support long-term recovery and improve the quality of life for those affected by addiction. It is often provided in specialized treatment programs and is tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, promoting a holistic approach to healing and rehabilitation.
