Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Medically Monitored Withdrawal Management Program
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA approved medications along with counseling and therapy to treat substance use and co-occurring disorders. Our physicians will discuss best treatment options with you and develop individualized treatment plan. See our MAT section for more details about medications.
Our goal is to prescribe and dispense medications on the first day of your program. We advise you to abstain from alcohol and opiates for 12-24 hours.
