We at Western Michigan CTC provide evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals aged 18 and above facing opioid dependencies. This method fosters various positive outcomes, including greater treatment adherence, better social engagement, reduced dependence on prescription painkillers and illegal substances, and minimized spread of infectious diseases. Through the combination of medications and counseling, MAT delivers a complete care experience. The available medications in MAT assist in overcoming the hurdles of discontinuing opioid use by alleviating withdrawal symptoms and curbing desires, while also aiding in achieving clearer mental states to concentrate on healing. Within our MAT offerings, this encompasses one-on-one and group therapy sessions, which play a vital role in tackling the mental and emotional aspects of recovery from opioid addiction.
Advantages of Medication-Assisted Treatment
We at Western Michigan CTC offer evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals aged 18 and above struggling with opioid dependencies. This strategy promotes several beneficial effects, such as improved retention in care, enhanced social participation, less use of pain relief drugs and illicit substances, and reduced transmission of infections. By integrating medications with counseling, MAT provides a thorough recovery pathway. The medications involved in MAT help ease the transition away from opioids by addressing withdrawal issues and lowering cravings, while supporting better mental sharpness for focusing on the healing journey. In our MAT services, this includes individual and group therapy options, which are critical for exploring the emotional and psychological dimensions of addiction recovery.
