About Our MAT Rehab Center

Utilizing Medication-Assisted Treatment for Sustainable Healing

Our Cohasset facility provides specialized Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to support individuals navigating substance use disorders. MAT utilizes specific, clinically managed medications to mitigate painful withdrawal symptoms, diminish cravings, stabilize brain chemistry, and neutralize the euphoric sensations associated with substance use. These are evidence-based interventions, not a “substitution” of one drug for another. When integrated with professional counseling and behavioral therapies, MAT offers a “whole-person” approach that is proven to significantly enhance long-term recovery outcomes.

MAT and the Detox Process

What Defines Medication-Assisted Treatment?

The American Medical Association (AMA) advocates for MAT as a vital, innovative strategy to reduce mortality rates associated with drug overdoses. This protocol combines FDA-approved pharmacological support with intensive behavioral therapies to help clients cleanse their systems of toxins while restoring normal bodily functions. Under the guidance of our certified medical specialists, patients are provided with a structured path to wellness. We offer both individual and group-based MAT sessions to address the complexities of dependency from a holistic perspective.

Proactive Addiction Management

Pharmacological Options in the MAT Protocol

Medically-assisted treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at Avatar helps patients manage their addictions by understanding and treating their addiction’s root cause. At Avatar, the accessibility of Medication-Assisted Treatment increases patients’ survival rates and ensures proper care and support to prevent relapses. The medication types of Medication-Assisted Treatment are different to treat different addictions. Also, various medication therapies are used to treat other substance use disorders. Medications like buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone are used to treat opioid dependency to opioids such as morphine, heroin, and codeine, as well as semi-synthetic opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Medication such as naltrexone aids in weakening the cravings for alcohol, managing withdrawal symptoms, and the psychological struggles that patients face during their detox phase. These medication therapies should all be used in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies.
