Medication-Assisted Treatment
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a comprehensive approach to treating substance use disorders and supporting long-term recovery.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Our Programs That Offer Medication-Assisted Treatment in Arkansas
Depending on your particular clinical needs and stage of recovery, Ozark Healing Center skillfully integrates Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) into multiple levels of care. Whether you’re just getting started or transitioning into a less demanding phase, our staff collaborates with you to determine whether and when MAT is the right course of action. By offering flexibility and a personalized treatment plan, we ensure that MAT is delivered in a way that supports long-term healing and equips each client with the skills they need to regain control of their lives.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our PHP provides comprehensive daily assistance under medical supervision. For those starting MAT who need careful observation of their physical and mental reactions to medication, this level of care is perfect.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Clients in IOP continue MAT while going to scheduled treatment sessions several days a week. This permits adaptability while preserving drug administration and therapeutic responsibility.
Outpatient Program (OP)
People who are stable in their rehabilitation can receive long-term pharmaceutical management from our OP. Clients who are juggling work, school, or family obligations while maintaining treatment connections benefit greatly from OP’s reduced clinical hours.
Types of Medication-Assisted Treatment
MAT uses a variety of drugs, each of which is customized to a patient’s unique diagnosis and rehabilitation objectives. Here at Ozark Healing Center, we provide the best choices:
Vivitrol (Naltrexone Injection)
Vivitrol is a monthly injectable naltrexone that prevents alcohol and narcotics from having their effects on the brain. Because it avoids the euphoric “high” that frequently triggers relapse, it helps curb cravings and is non-addictive. For those who have already undergone detoxification and are looking for assistance preventing recurrence, Vivitrol is the best option.
Naltrexone (Oral)
Like Vivitrol, the oral form of naltrexone is taken every day and has comparable advantages. It is very useful for those with alcohol use disorders and is frequently used in the early phases of rehabilitation.
Sublocade (Extended-Release Buprenorphine)
Sublocade is a monthly injection used to treat opioid use disorder. It gives users a steady dose of buprenorphine, which reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing a high by binding to opioid receptors. Without the everyday hassle of pill administration, Sublocade helps people stay focused on their therapy and life objectives.
