Medication Assisted rehab: common questions

Is MAT just trading one drug for another?

No. Treatment doses are stable and prescribed, they do not produce the highs and crashes of misuse, and they let people work, parent, and recover. Major health bodies consider MAT the standard of care for opioid addiction.

Which medications are used in MAT?

Buprenorphine (Suboxone) and methadone for opioid addiction, and naltrexone or acamprosate for alcohol. A prescriber matches the medication to your situation.

How long do people stay on MAT?

It varies from months to years. Staying on medication as long as it helps is safer than stopping early, and any taper should be planned with a prescriber.
