Are You Ready to Break Free from Addiction?
John had tried to quit opioids multiple times. Each attempt ended the same way—painful withdrawal, cravings too strong to fight, and ultimately, relapse. He felt trapped. Then, he discovered Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), and for the first time in years, he found hope. Within weeks, his cravings were manageable. Within months, he was rebuilding his life.
If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, you don’t have to face it alone. At Healthy Connections, we provide judgment-free, expert care to help you break free and reclaim your life.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy to treat substance use disorders effectively. This approach helps individuals manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and regain stability in their lives.
MAT is not just about medication—it is a comprehensive, holistic treatment plan designed to support long-term recovery. At Healthy Connections, our Evolve Behavioral Health Therapists and Family Nurse Practitioners collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
How MAT Helps Individuals Break Free from Addiction
- Higher Success Rates in Recovery
Studies from organizations like SAMHSA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse show that individuals in MAT programs are up to 50% less likely to relapse than those relying solely on behavioral therapy. Another study from McMaster University found that approximately 46% of patients continued to use illicit opioids during or after methadone maintenance treatment, emphasizing the importance of continued support and comprehensive care.
Additionally, research has indicated that the overall relapse rate during methadone treatment is around 13.1%, highlighting the significant benefit of structured MAT programs.
2. Reduced Risk of Overdose
For individuals struggling with opioid use disorder, medications such as buprenorphine and naloxone can be life-saving. A study published in JAMA found that treatment with buprenorphine or methadone was associated with reduced overdose rates and fewer emergency acute care visits compared to other treatments.
At Healthy Connections, we ensure patients have access to these essential medications in a safe, supportive, and judgment-free environment.
3. A Whole-Person Approach to Healing
MAT goes beyond just medication. It includes counseling, behavioral therapy, and peer support, addressing the emotional and psychological aspects of addiction. Our Evolve Behavioral Health team provides strategies for managing stress, improving mental health, and rebuilding relationships with loved ones.
4. Restoring Quality of Life
With withdrawal symptoms and cravings under control, individuals in MAT programs often experience improved physical health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. A systematic review found that retention rates for buprenorphine treatment can range from 20% to 82.5%, depending on various factors—demonstrating that individualized care plans play a crucial role in long-term success.
Many patients find that with the right support, they can rebuild their careers, strengthen relationships, and achieve personal goals they once thought were out of reach.
