Individuals with opioid use disorders can benefit greatly from medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Behavioral therapy and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) are combined in a MAT program in order to provide the patient with the tools they need to combat addiction. Patients are provided with customized care through the MAT program’s patient-centric treatment approach. By blocking the rewarding sensations associated with opioids, medications that are prescribed by an MAT provider can help minimize cravings and decrease opioid misuse, promoting the goal of total recovery among patients. A comprehensive treatment method for opioid use disorders can be achieved through the use of a combination of behavioral therapies and FDA-approved pharmaceuticals. Because Opioid Use Disorder is so complex, medication treatment that is supplemented by behavioral therapy methods have proven to be effective. This is why MAT relies on the combination of the two in order to best help patients achieve sobriety and avoid relapses from their addictions.
