Medication-Assisted Treatment
Support for opioid use recovery
Medication-assisted treatment combines FDA-approved medication with counseling and support services to help reduce cravings, improve stability, and support long-term recovery.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Medication-assisted treatment, often called MAT, uses medication together with counseling to provide a patient-centered approach to substance use disorder treatment. At CompDrug, patients are medically managed while also participating in counseling and other recovery supports.
MAT can help normalize neurological and hormonal functions affected by opioid use. By reducing cravings and preventing withdrawal, medication can help patients more fully engage in treatment.
Medication works best with treatment support
Medication is one part of the treatment plan. Counseling, care coordination, monitoring, and recovery support help patients build stability and long-term wellness.
Medications We Offer
Methadone
Methadone is a long-acting medication used to treat opioid addiction. It can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms and support stability during treatment.
Methadone treatment is strictly regulated and provided through certified opioid treatment programs.
Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist. It can help suppress withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings while carrying lower risk than full opioid agonists.
It may be used as part of a treatment plan when medically appropriate.
Vivitrol
Vivitrol is a once-monthly injection of naltrexone used to support treatment for opioid and alcohol addiction.
It is not an opioid. It works by blocking opioid receptors and may help prevent relapse.
Sublocade
Sublocade is an injectable form of buprenorphine given once per month for medically appropriate patients.
Your medical provider can help determine whether this option is right for you.
