Medication-Assisted Treatment represents a significant advancement in addiction medicine, dramatically improving outcomes for opioid and alcohol use disorders. At Penn Spine and Rehab, we connect you with MAT providers who combine medication with comprehensive behavioral treatment.
FDA-Approved Medications
For opioid addiction:
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex): Reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms
- Methadone: Prevents withdrawal and reduces cravings in supervised settings
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol): Blocks opioid effects and reduces cravings
For alcohol addiction:
- Naltrexone: Reduces cravings and the rewarding effects of alcohol
- Acamprosate (Campral): Helps maintain abstinence after detox
- Disulfiram (Antabuse): Creates unpleasant effects if alcohol is consumed
MAT Is Not "Replacing One Drug with Another"
A common misconception is that MAT simply substitutes one addiction for another. In reality, MAT medications stabilize brain chemistry, allowing individuals to engage in therapy, maintain employment, and rebuild their lives while reducing overdose risk and relapse rates.
Finding MAT Providers
MAT is available in various settings including outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient programs, and residential treatment centers. Look for programs that combine medication with behavioral therapy for the best outcomes.
