medication-assisted treatment

"At Amber Recovery, we understand that the path to recovery is unique for each individual, and for some, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can be a crucial component in the journey towards sobriety. MAT involves the use of FDA-approved medications, combined with counseling and behavioral therapies, to address substance use disorders. Our experienced medical team works closely with individuals to assess their specific needs, tailoring a comprehensive treatment plan that may include medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone. MAT helps manage cravings, alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and create a stable foundation for recovery. It is a evidence-based approach that, when combined with therapeutic interventions, enhances the chances of sustained recovery. At Amber Recovery, we prioritize the well-being and comfort of our clients, offering a personalized and holistic approach that may include MAT for those individuals who can benefit from this scientifically supported treatment method.

Comprehensive medication-assisted treatment (MAT)

Amber Recovery is dedicated to providing a diverse range of evidence-based treatment options, and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a vital component of our comprehensive approach to recovery. Our experienced medical team collaborates closely with individuals to create personalized treatment plans that may include FDA-approved medications to address substance use disorders. Here are the examples of the types of medications used in our MAT programs:

  • Methadone: A long-acting opioid agonist that helps manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, offering stability for individuals recovering from opioid addiction.

  • Buprenorphine: A partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, providing a safer alternative to full opioids.

  • Naltrexone: An opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids, helping prevent relapse by reducing the appeal of substance use.

  • Disulfiram: Used for alcohol dependence, disulfiram creates an aversion to alcohol by causing unpleasant reactions when alcohol is consumed.

  • Acamprosate: Targeting alcohol dependence, acamprosate helps balance neurotransmitters, reducing withdrawal symptoms and supporting abstinence.

At Amber Recovery, we believe that holistic therapy is a key component in fostering lasting recovery, empowering individuals to embark on a transformative journey towards wellness. Our dedicated team is here to guide and support individuals on the path to a more balanced, fulfilling, and vibrant life.
