Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

A Science-Backed Pathway to Stability and Sobriety

At Star City Recovery, we use Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help individuals reclaim control over their lives by reducing cravings and managing withdrawal symptoms. This evidence-based approach combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and holistic care, providing a solid foundation for long-term recovery from opioid and alcohol use disorders.

MAT is not a replacement for therapy—it’s a complement to it. When administered correctly in a structured, supportive environment, MAT can significantly increase the chances of sustained sobriety while restoring emotional and physical balance.

Combining Medication and Therapy for Sustainable Change

Understanding MAT

MAT is designed to address both the physical and psychological components of substance use disorders. It provides relief from the intense symptoms of withdrawal while supporting emotional healing through therapy and lifestyle interventions.

Key Benefits of MAT:

Reduces cravings and eases withdrawal symptoms
Improves engagement in treatment and long-term outcomes
Stabilizes mood and supports emotional regulation
Lowers risk of relapse and overdose

MAT is especially effective for individuals struggling with opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), and can be a critical tool in early recovery when cravings are at their peak.

Our Comprehensive Approach to MAT

At Star City Recovery, our MAT program is built on an integrative model that blends medication, therapy, and holistic care in a safe, compassionate setting.

Take The First Step

Four Key Elements of Supportive Recovery

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Many individuals receiving MAT also face mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or trauma. Our dual diagnosis program ensures both conditions are treated together, creating a unified path to healing.

Medication Management

We offer access to FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone—carefully prescribed and monitored by our medical team to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, and promote recovery stability.

Therapeutic Support

MAT is paired with both individual and group therapy. Clients explore the emotional roots of their addiction, learn new coping skills, and build resilience to navigate life without substances.

Holistic Wellness

Recovery is more than medication. We integrate practices like yoga, mindfulness, and creative therapies to support overall health, enhance emotional balance, and rebuild mind-body connection.
