What is Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a specific type of detox program to help a person with a substance use disorder safely stop using drugs and/or alcohol that combines medications with other treatments to help with pain, cravings, and other uncomfortable aspects of detox and withdrawal.
At The Healing Place, we provide a MAT drug rehab Fort Lauderdale residents can trust. We combine the use of FDA-approved prescription doses of medications that will help you deal with your unique withdrawal symptoms, along with holistic, psychological, and emotional care, so that you can get through your detox safely, without suffering unnecessarily.
MAT Drug Rehab
Withdrawal symptoms are what happens to your brain and body when you stop using a substance that has changed the way your brain’s reward system works. Over time, because of these changes, drug use can cause a physical dependency, and when you try to stop using these substances, uncomfortable and even dangerous withdrawal symptoms occur.
A MAT drug rehab program is the best way to ensure you stay safe and to get through your withdrawal symptoms as comfortably as possible. In the MAT program at The Healing Place, you will live inside our facility for the duration of your detox, under 24-hour care by medical professionals who will monitor your progress and make sure everything is going to plan, and that the medications provided are doing their job.
Besides physical safety and comfort, one of the most important parts of MAT drug rehab is the supportive atmosphere we provide. As you heal, we will treat you with the respect and care that you deserve.
Once you have finished your detox period, a length of time spent in inpatient rehab is strongly recommended. Detox is only the first step to long-term recovery. In inpatient care, you will undergo behavioral therapy, medical treatment, and other specific treatments that will help you deal with the underlying reasons for addiction.
The Healing Place near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, will then provide you with an aftercare plan that is completely individualized to you, depending on your unique needs. As addiction is a chronic disease, we will provide you with relapse prevention tools and the ability to set and reach your own goals and grow positive relationships in your life, so you can build a lasting sober support system once you leave our rehab program.
When Someone Should Seek MAT Drug Rehab
If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop or cut back your drug use, you should seek medication-assisted treatment. You may also want to consider getting professional help with your detox if you have been using a substance for a long time, or have been using large amounts of a drug or combining more than one drug and/or alcohol use together.
MAT Rehab for Opioid Addiction
Opioid detox is not usually life-threatening, but the withdrawal symptoms can be very intense and unpleasant, leading to relapse. Some people will avoid trying to stop opioid use due to fear of these symptoms. At The Healing Place, we use medication such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone to help block cravings and other symptoms as you wean off opioid use. The use of these medications is closely monitored to ensure you do not develop a new addiction.
The Benefits of MAT Drug Rehab
MAT drug rehab has been proven effective in achieving long-term sobriety for many patients. It will help you through difficult withdrawal symptoms and will also keep you and others safe in case you lash out violently due to increased feelings of aggression. We can look for signs of psychosis and ensure there are no medical emergencies due to seizures or extreme dehydration. By providing appropriate medications and counseling we can also remove the risk of self-harm.
