Understanding MAT

What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment, commonly called MAT, is an evidence-based approach to treating certain substance use disorders using medication as part of a broader treatment and recovery plan.

For opioid use disorder, treatment involving approved medications may also be described as medications for opioid use disorder, or MOUD. Depending on the individual's diagnosis and clinical needs, medication may help reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, or support greater stability while the person participates in therapy and other recovery services.

Medication is not necessary or appropriate for every individual. Decisions about medication should be made with a qualified healthcare professional who can evaluate medical history, substance use history, symptoms, medications, and overall treatment needs.

MAT Services in Michigan

What to Expect From Medication-Assisted Treatment

Treatment is individualized around each person's diagnosis, clinical circumstances, recovery goals, and support needs. Medication may be integrated with therapy and recovery-focused care when appropriate.

Medication Management

Medication needs may be evaluated and monitored when medication support forms part of the individual's treatment plan.

Medication & Therapy

Medication may be combined with individual therapy, group therapy, and behavioral approaches that address emotional and behavioral aspects of recovery.

MAT Education

Individuals can learn about medication options, treatment expectations, recovery goals, potential benefits, and the importance of following medical guidance.

Co-Occurring Support

When substance use and mental health concerns occur together, treatment planning can consider both areas to support greater overall stability.

Understanding Medication Options

Suboxone & Opioid Use Disorder Treatment

Suboxone is a well-established medication option used in the treatment of opioid use disorder. For appropriate individuals, it may help reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings while supporting greater stability in recovery.

Suboxone contains buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that may help reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Naloxone is included in the combination medication to help discourage certain forms of misuse.

Medication can address important physical aspects of opioid use disorder while therapy and recovery services focus on behavioral, emotional, interpersonal, and practical challenges.

Evidence-Based Medication Option

How Suboxone May Support Recovery

Withdrawal Support

Buprenorphine may help reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms for appropriate individuals.

Craving Management

Medication may help reduce opioid cravings, making continued treatment more manageable.

Greater Treatment Engagement

Greater physical stability may help individuals focus more fully on therapy and recovery goals.

Individualized Oversight

Medication decisions should reflect the person's health history, symptoms, and treatment needs.

Individualized Medical Oversight

Suboxone is not appropriate for every individual. A qualified healthcare professional should determine whether buprenorphine/naloxone is appropriate based on medical history, symptoms, substance use history, current medications, and individual treatment needs. Medication treatment should be appropriately monitored as needs and recovery goals evolve.

Whole-Person Recovery Support

Recovery Involves More Than Medication

Medication may help support stability, but lasting progress also involves understanding the thoughts, emotions, relationships, behaviors, and experiences that can influence substance use and mental health.

Emotional Regulation

Build healthier ways to recognize and respond to difficult emotions without relying on substance use.

Coping Skills

Develop practical strategies for managing stress, triggers, cravings, interpersonal challenges, and everyday pressures.

Relapse Prevention

Identify warning signs and high-risk situations while developing strategies for protecting recovery progress.

Trauma-Informed Care

Treatment can consider how past experiences may influence emotional health, relationships, coping patterns, and substance use.

Recovery Planning

Establish realistic goals and practical next steps for continued treatment, wellness, work, relationships, and daily life.

Therapeutic Support

Individual and group therapy can help address behavioral patterns, communication, emotional challenges, and long-term recovery goals.
