MAT services for SUD (substance use disorders) work in practice. From the outset, the SUD treatment team at Tarzana Treatment Centers has championed Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT). MAT services are a practical treatment approach in early recovery that saves lives and reduces harm.

People seeking SUD treatment services, particularly for opioid use disorder, often want MAT services to be part of their treatment plan. The SUD treatment team understands that finding a trusted provider for Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) services can be challenging. Tarzana Treatment Centers makes MAT services available in our continuum of care, encouraging these treatment options for those that would benefit from them.

MAT Services = an Effective SUD Treatment Option

TTC recognizes the value of MAT as an effective treatment option for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the medications used in MAT services are reliable and safe when properly administered.

TTC provides MAT services across all levels of care as part of our SUD treatment programs. We specialize in the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder. Medications for Addiction Treatment options like Suboxone, Sublocade, Vivitrol, Buprenorphine, Methadone, and Naltrexone are safe and effective treatments. Additionally, the Methadone and Buprenorphine Maintenance Programs at TTC help people avoid the dangers of relapse in early recovery.

Although mainly tailored to heroin and prescription opioid users, MAT services also are used to prevent alcohol relapses. They help to keep patients from picking up the first drink and, along with counseling, pave the road to recovery. Regarding opioid use disorders, Medications for Addiction Treatment prevent the kind of relapse that often proves fatal.

Patients that adhere to a recovery program that includes these services are much more likely to avoid becoming a statistic in the national epidemic of opioid overdoses.

1. Inpatient Withdrawal Management (Medical Detox)

1. Outpatient and Residential Withdrawal Management (Detoxification)

TTC welcomes patients seeking Medications for Addiction Treatment as part of their recovery.

Medications for Addiction Treatment in Recovery

The MAT services recovery process includes assessment, medication management, individual and group counseling, urinary analysis, case management, and physician visits.

A pioneer in using Vivitrol, an injectable form of Naltrexone for treating both opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder, TTC is an expert in the recovery drug’s application. TTC is also a leader in using Sublocade as a recovery drug, another once-a-month injection for opiate treatment. In these MAT services programs, patients receive a single monthly injection to minimize cravings and cancel the reward or “high” associated with their drug of choice.

TTC has been a proponent of MAT services since the beginning. Indeed, the research is clear and detailed: Medications for Addiction Treatment saves lives. To learn more about MAT Services at TTC, please contact us today.
