Medication: MAT involves the use of FDA-approved medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and stabilize individuals with substance use disorders. The specific medication used depends on the substance being treated (e.g., methadone for opioid use disorder, buprenorphine, or naltrexone). Behavioral Therapy: MAT is usually combined with behavioral therapy or counseling. This component addresses the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction, helping individuals develop coping skills, address underlying issues, and make positive lifestyle changes. Supportive Services: MAT often includes additional support services, such as medical monitoring, psychosocial support, and access to support groups. These services are essential in providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to recovery.
