Alcohol Medication-Assisted Treatment
If you have found that you are dependent on alcohol, physically or mentally it may be worth considering MAT for alcohol use disorder, alongside therapy. Understand that a MAT center is not a cure-all. However, for some individuals it provides additional support while undergoing the therapeutic process. When used in conjunction with therapy, and treatment, it is a very effective option.
Our medical and psychiatric team will begin by evaluating your medical and substance abuse history to determine if you meet criteria for MAT.. Our team will then discuss with you about the medication, what it’s effects are, what the side effects could be, and how it could be beneficial for your situation. You will then be able to make an informed decision on whether or not you chose to begin MAT.
The most common medications for alcohol use disorder are acamprosate, disulfiram and naltrexone. These are used as part of a comprehensive treatment approach that includes therapy, psychiatric care and lifestyle guidance.
