Medication Assisted Treatment in Florida
Medication-assisted treatment in Pompano Beach is a tool used to improve safety, comfort, and engagement during detox and early recovery. Rather than a stand-alone outpatient dosing model, Boca Recovery Center employs this method of effective treatment as part of an integrated care plan.
Here’s what you need to know about effective MAT for detox and withdrawal management.
What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the treatment of addiction using FDA-approved medications alongside counseling, therapy and recovery planning. MAT can be used for opioid and alcohol use disorders, especially during withdrawal management and early stabilization.
The FDA has approved three main medications for MAT to treat opioid use disorder: buprenorphine, naltrexone and methadone. For alcohol use disorder, the FDA-approved MAT prescriptions are naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram.
How MAT Helps During Detox and Withdrawal Management
During the detox process, MAT provides symptoms relief from withdrawal. This reduces the discomfort of the withdrawal stage, making detox more tolerable.
These medications also reduce health risk during withdrawal, as they mitigate symptoms to prevent severe medical reactions. Some clients need these medications to get through detox safely enough to engage in therapy and residential treatment.
At Boca Recovery Centers, MAT involves prescribed medications, tapering protocols and seamless transition from detox to inpatient care. These evidence-based methods provide a safe and effective process for recovery.
MAT for Opioid and Alcohol Use Disorders: Evidence, Safety and Common Myths
Research shows that medication-assisted treatment in Pompano Beach can be an effective approach for treating addiction. By providing an alternative to a “cold-turkey” approach, MAT offers a safer way to transition off addictive substances.
The CDC has reported that medications for OUD substantially reduce overdose-related and overall mortality. NIDA has also noted that these medications reduce overdose death risk.
This is critical in the current overdose crisis. In 2022, the U.S. recorded 81,806 opioid-involved overdose deaths. Yet, only 25.1% of adults who need OUD treatment receive medications. Why? This is partly due to a common myth.
Myth Busting: Does MAT Substitute One Drug for Another?
Because MAT involves prescription drugs, including opioids, this method of treatment is often viewed as simply substituting one drug for another. However, when applied properly, MAT offers a way to stabilize the patient and slowly taper them off drug use.
The medications curb cravings and deter relapse, so the person can function, attend therapy and work toward recovery. Rather than remain dependent on illicit substances, patients can receive monitored prescriptions and safely transition to a life in recovery.
