Medication for Addiction Treatment
If you or a loved one is struggling with a substance use disorder, Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) offers a safe, effective solution. MAT for substance use disorders combines FDA-approved medications with professional counseling and recovery support to help reduce cravings and build a lasting path to sobriety.
Alcohol Dependence Treatment Options
Treatment may include one of the following, based on your needs and preferences:
- Oral Medication – A daily pill that helps reduce cravings and lowers the risk of relapse.
- Injectable Medication – A longer-lasting option, often given monthly, for patients who prefer not to take a daily pill.
All medications are prescribed and closely monitored by a licensed Arcare provider to support safe, effective treatment.
Talk with your healthcare provider about which options may be right for you.
Opioid Dependence Treatment Options
The common medication we use for opioid disorder is buprenorphine, buprenorphine/naloxone. This medication comes in several forms: oral, transdermal, and injectable.
What is Buprenorphine?
Buprenorphine is a medication designed to help people recover from opioid dependence. It works by attaching to the same brain receptors as opioids, but in a controlled way. This means:
- Less craving and withdrawal symptoms
- Lower risk of overdose compared to full opioids
- No intense high, reducing misuse potential
When combined with counseling and support, buprenorphine can help individuals regain control and live healthier lives.
Ask your healthcare provider if buprenorphine is right for you.
Therapy & Counseling for Substance Use Disorders
Therapy and counseling are an essential part of MAT for both alcohol and opioid dependence. Regular sessions with trained therapists help address the emotional and behavioral challenges of recovery and provide tools to prevent relapse.
