Healing Addiction Through Compassionate, Clinical Excellence
Transform your Live Through Medication-Assisted Treatment
At Abundance of Care, we understand that addiction is a complex medical condition that often requires comprehensive treatment approaches. Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a “whole-patient” approach to addiction recovery.
We believe every person deserves to feel like they belong, to be heard, and to be loved through their healing journey. Through person-centered care, connection, and community, we empower individuals to choose freedom, choose joy, and choose abundance.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT is considered the “gold standard” for treating opioid and alcohol addiction because it addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. The medications help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while therapy and counseling support long-term behavioral changes and recovery skills.
What medications are used in MAT and how do they work?
We use three main FDA-approved medications: Buprenorphine reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms by partially activating opioid receptors in the brain; Naltrexone blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and alcohol, reducing the reward of using these substances; and Methadone helps stabilize brain chemistry for those with severe opioid dependence. Your doctor will determine which medication is most appropriate based on your specific situation and medical history.
Is MAT safe, and what are the potential side effects?
Yes, MAT is very safe when prescribed and monitored by qualified medical professionals. All MAT medications are FDA-approved and have been extensively studied. Common side effects are generally mild and may include nausea, headache, or drowsiness, which typically improve as your body adjusts. Our medical team closely monitors your response to medication and can adjust dosages or switch medications if needed. The benefits of MAT far outweigh the risks, especially when compared to the dangers of continued substance use.

If you miss a dose, contact our team as soon as possible for guidance. Skipping doses can affect your progress, but we’ll help you get back on track safely.

After MAT, we support you with aftercare planning, continued counseling, and resources to maintain your recovery. Our goal is to help you achieve long-term wellness beyond medication.
