How Medication-Assisted Treatment for Opioid Addiction Works

At Better Life Partners, some of our members use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to treat their opioid addiction. We prescribe Suboxone for MAT, which is a medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) that consists of buprenorphine and naloxone. MAT is a whole-person form of treatment that recognizes that you are a complex individual who is so much more than your drug use habits. MAT usually consists of a combination of MOUD paired with behavioral therapy, but it looks different for everyone.

Suboxone has been shown to be a safe and effective way of treating opioid addiction, with studies showing that it can reduce withdrawal symptoms, cravings, relapses, and it even decreases the chances of opioid overdose-related deaths. The biggest misconception of MAT is that it is simply trading one addiction for another, which isn’t true. MAT is a method of harm reduction treatment that has been studied and shown to be an effective and safe way to help individuals recover from opioid addiction.

When you use MAT with Better Life Partners, you have a medical professional with you every step of the way who will answer any questions and concerns you might have about our treatment model. You will also be able to be a part of community group counseling, so you’ll have the support you need throughout your recovery. 

If you’re ready to start treatment or have any questions, call/text us at (866) 679-0831, you can begin medication-assisted treatment with Suboxone today if medically necessary.

Recognize the signs of opioid addiction:

Opioid use disorder is defined by Johns Hopkins Medicine as a medical condition in which one is “not able to abstain from using opioids, and behaviors centered around opioid use that interfere with daily life.” It might be difficult to tell if a loved one is living with opioid addiction, but there are a few signs to look out for, such as:

• Isolation from family or friends
• Lack of hygiene
• Weight loss
• New financial difficulties
• Along with other signs you can find here

If you are concerned about a loved one and suspect that they are living with opioid addiction, approach them with love, compassion, and respect. Let them know that you’re there to support them, and don’t try to force them to do anything they aren’t comfortable with. At the end of the day, it’s their life, and they get to choose if and when they seek recovery.
