Medication Assisted Treatment Atlanta

At Lanier Recovery Center, we understand that for some individuals, achieving and maintaining recovery from opioids or alcohol requires more than therapy alone. That’s why we offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), a proven, research-backed approach that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy and counseling.

MAT is not about replacing one drug with another. It’s about reducing cravings, stabilizing brain chemistry, and giving individuals the space and clarity to focus on healing.

What is medication-assisted treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) involves the use of specific medications to treat substance use disorders, particularly opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD). These medications help normalize brain function, reduce the risk of relapse, and increase retention in treatment.

When used under clinical supervision and in conjunction with therapy, MAT has been shown to significantly improve outcomes in recovery.

Benefits of MAT in recovery

MAT can offer a critical level of support, especially during the early stages of recovery when cravings and withdrawal symptoms are strongest.

Benefits include:

Reduced cravings and withdrawal symptoms
Lower risk of relapse and overdose
Improved engagement in therapy and counseling
Stabilized brain function and emotional regulation
Increased likelihood of completing treatment

Contrary to common myths, MAT does not substitute one addiction for another. These medications are used therapeutically to help clients build a strong foundation for long-term sobriety.
