Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT, is considered the gold standard in treating Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). MAT combines medication, counseling, and behavioral therapies to provide a well-rounded approach to treatment.
The Two Options in MAT
Buprenorphine (Examples: Suboxone, Sublocade)
Buprenorphine relieves withdrawal symptoms while also reducing cravings. It can be administered in various office-based settings.
Naltrexone (Example: Vivitrol)
Naltrexone is another office-based treatment option that works by blocking opioid receptors. It is non-addictive and helps patients avoid relapse.
Office-Based Treatment Options: Buprenorphine and Naltrexone
Buprenorphine
Available forms:
- Suboxone
- Sublocade
- Zubsolv
- Brixadi
Naltrexone
Available forms:
- Vivitrol
- Generic tablets
With our Direct Physician Care, Dr. Watson can create a custom treatment plan in our private office for your journey toward recovery and control, using all forms of Buprenorphine and Naltrexone.
Side Note: Vivitrol is an excellent option for those suffering from the dual diagnosis of OUD (Opioid Use Disorder) combined with AUD (Alcohol Use Disorder).
