How Does Medication-Assisted Treatment Work?

At Better Life Partners, some members use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to support them through their opioid addiction recovery. MAT is a form of addiction treatment that usually utilizes medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) alongside behavioral therapy for a more whole-person style of treatment. MAT recognizes that you are so much more than your addiction, which is why it works to support you in all areas of your life.

At Better Life Partners, we prescribe Suboxone for MAT. Suboxone is a MOUD that comes in the form of a sublingual film and is made up of buprenorphine and naloxone. A common misconception about MAT is that it is simply trading one addiction for another, but this isn’t true. MAT has been shown to be safe and effective at treating opioid addiction, it can help with things like cravings and withdrawal symptoms, relapsing, and it can even reduce the likelihood of opioid overdose deaths.

When you get MAT with Better Life Partners, you are guided by a clinician throughout your entire treatment process. You are also able to get support from your peers through weekly group counseling sessions, which are also led by a medical professional. Better Life Partners provides medication-assisted treatment anywhere in Massachusetts.

We are ready to support you in whatever ways you need, just call/text us today at (866) 679-0831 to see if MAT with Suboxone is right for you.

How to recognize the signs of opioid addiction:

Johns Hopkins Medicine defines opioid use disorder as a medical condition in which one is “not able to abstain from using opioids, and behaviors around opioid use interfere with daily life.” Opioid addiction is a medical condition and it should be treated with compassion and respect just like any other. Here are a few signs to look out for if you suspect a loved one is living with opioid addiction:

• Weight loss
• New financial struggles
• Isolation from friends and family
• Declining hygiene
• Along with others

If you suspect that a loved one is living with opioid use disorder, approach the situation with kindness and respect. Let them know that you’re there to support them, but don’t try to force them to do anything that they aren’t comfortable with. Try to understand where they’re coming from, and recognize that forcing them to seek treatment when they aren’t ready can cause more harm than good. It is their life and they will seek treatment if and when they are ready.
