At Kamsi Health Care, we understand the challenges faced by individuals struggling with opioid addiction. Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program is designed to help those in the grips of opioid dependence by combining FDA-approved medications with supportive counseling and comprehensive behavioral therapies. This integrated approach aims to treat the whole individual, not just the addiction, promoting sustained recovery and a return to health.
What is MAT?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a highly effective approach to managing opioid addiction that uses medications, in conjunction with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to treatment. MAT helps reduce the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body. Medications used in MAT are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are specially designed to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and stabilize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug.
Our Approach to MAT
Personalized Treatment Plans: Every individual is unique, which is why we create a tailored treatment plan for each patient. Our expert team works closely with you to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Integrated Counseling Services: MAT is most effective when combined with counseling and behavioral therapies. At Kamsi Health Care, our treatment includes a variety of therapeutic interventions designed to help patients address behavioral issues related to addiction, enhance coping strategies, and integrate healthy routines into their lives.
Continuous Monitoring and Support: Recovery is an ongoing journey. We provide continuous monitoring throughout the treatment process to ensure safety, adjust treatments as necessary, and provide support that encourages sustained recovery.
Medications Used in Our MAT Program
- Methadone: Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without the euphoria associated with the abused drug.
- Buprenorphine: Blocks the effects of opioids, reduces cravings, and withdrawals, and helps maintain a level of stability in the patient’s life.
- Naltrexone: Prevents opioids from having an effect when used, helps prevent relapse, and is suitable for those who have already undergone detoxification.
Who Can Benefit from MAT?
MAT is suitable for anyone who is currently struggling with dependence on opioids. This includes individuals who have tried other forms of treatment without success. Our program is designed to support both new and long-term users in their recovery efforts.
