Opiate addiction often requires a nontraditional, medication-based approach. Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT, is a comprehensive and highly effective approach that uses FDA-approved medications alongside therapy and counseling to address behavioral issues, support recovery, and prevent relapse.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fluid=”yes” bgcolor=”#f5f6fa” class=”align_Center”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner class=”padr_30 padl_45″][vc_custom_heading text=”Managing Withdrawal, Easing Recovery” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner black”][vc_column_text class=”para black”]People who have become physically and mentally reliant on opioids experience strong cravings for the drugs, and feel ill when they try to stop using these substances on their own. These intense withdrawal symptoms can make it especially challenging for someone to recover from an opiate dependency without professional help.

A medication that is an opioid antagonist is used and it blocks the effects of narcotics while curbing cravings for the drug, thus minimizing the risk of withdrawal. A medical team that is board-certified in addiction medicine, addiction psychiatry, family practice, and other specialties oversees our MAT program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″ class=”pad_left0″][vc_single_image image=”185″ img_size=”full” el_class=”no_mar”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fluid=”yes” bgcolor=”#f5f6fa” class=”align_Center”][vc_column width=”1/2″ class=”pad_rgt0″][vc_single_image image=”472″ img_size=”full” el_class=”no_mar”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner class=”padl_30 padr_45″][vc_custom_heading text=”What Makes MAT Effective?” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:left” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner black”][vc_column_text class=”para black”]There’s a common misconception that MAT is substituting one addictive substance for another. However, taking medication to help manage an opiate addiction is the same as taking drugs for any other chronic disease, such as cancer or diabetes. When someone with an opioid dependency uses MAT under the supervision of a qualified, licensed medical professional who specializes in treating addiction disorders, there is no risk of developing a new addiction.

In fact, evidence-based approaches like MAT have a high rate of success in helping people successfully overcome their opiate dependency, get on the path to wellness, and maintain long-term recovery.

By bridging the biological and behavioral components of addiction, MAT takes a highly customizable approach to improving a patient’s quality of lifeand their ability to handle stressful situations. Patients who enroll in MAT at Seabrook can complete our program on an inpatient or outpatient basis.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row class=”green_greadient content_pad”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Opioid Addiction Treatment in NJ” font_container=”tag:div|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”heading_inner white”][vc_column_text class=”para text-center white”]With our focus on holistic healing and family support, Seabrook has developed a multifaceted approach to helping give our patients the support they need to recover from substance abuse and lead a healthy lifestyle.
