MAT Opioid Treatment - Healthy Connections Community Health Network

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Healthy Connections

A Support System You Can Count On

We know that reaching out for help can be tough, but you don’t have to do this alone. At Healthy Connections, we combine safe, effective medications with personalized therapy and a team that genuinely cares about your well-being. For more than 25 years, we’ve been helping people regain control of their lives.

 

Opioid use disorder and substance abuse impact every part of your life, so we focus on more than just medication. Our MAT program brings together evidence-based treatment, one-on-one therapy, and a support team to help you rebuild. We’re here to offer the tools you need to succeed—not just in recovery but in living a healthier, happier life.

A Whole-Person Approach to Recovery

We know that no two journeys are the same. That’s why we offer a treatment plan that’s tailored specifically to your needs. Here’s how our program works:

Safe, FDA-Approved Medications

We use trusted medications like Buprenorphine (Suboxone) and Naltrexone to help manage cravings, block the effects of opioids, and rebalance your brain chemistry.

Counseling and Therapy

Medication is just one piece of the puzzle. Our addiction counselors provide therapy sessions—both one-on-one and group—where we work through the emotional side of recovery and help you build the skills to stay on track.

Family Support

We know addiction affects everyone around you. We encourage family involvement and offer education and support so your loved ones can be part of your recovery journey.

Full Health Management

We’re here for more than just your addiction treatment. Our team will work with you to address any other health issues that could affect your recovery.

Community Support Groups

Recovery can feel lonely, but it doesn’t have to be. We offer weekly support groups that give you a space to connect with others who understand what you’re going through. Plus, there’s often a meal to share while you’re there.

Why Choose MAT?

MAT is a proven approach that combines medication and therapy to help people recover from opioid addiction. It’s all about giving you the best chance to break the cycle of addiction and build a better future.
