At Boca Recovery Center in Galloway, NJ, we are committed to compassionate care. Our medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs are an integral part of that care, helping patients achieve long-term sobriety through proven, evidence-based methods.
MAT is a whole-person approach to addiction recovery that centers on a combination of behavioral therapy and FDA-approved medications. These medications help stabilize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids and relieve physiological cravings. While the medications address the physical side of addiction, behavioral therapies address the mental and emotional aspects.
This evidence-based approach significantly improves patient survival and retention in treatment programs.
All prescriptions provided during medication-assisted treatment in Galloway, NJ, are carefully managed by clinical professionals to ensure patient safety and treatment effectiveness.

While it is not always strictly required, a safely monitored medical detox in NJ is usually the crucial first step to clear substances from the body. Medications are often introduced during detox to manage acute withdrawal symptoms. These prescriptions may continue once detox is complete, with adjusted dosages as needed.
The FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder include buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone. These medications ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings without producing a "high."
MAT medications specifically target substance cravings. However, the overall MAT program includes comprehensive therapy to also address mental health conditions. Boca Recovery Center’s dual diagnosis program pairs MAT with therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy to address underlying anxiety or depression.
