Medication-Assisted Therapy (MAT)
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and other therapeutic techniques, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
HHI's approach is to effectively address the substance use disorder which includes a multi-systems collaborative approach between substance use disorder treatment and mental health treatment, and healthcare providers. HHI MAT program is as a viable option for parents/caregivers that have substance use disorders, especially opioid use disorders. HHI has incorporated various resources in assisting communities, organizations, agencies, and patients to better understand and implement evidence-based approaches to support safety, well-being, and recovery of children and families. These services include such as ORC, COPE, MAT, counseling and therapy, Wraparound, Housing, Employment, OHH and BHH programs, and Primary Care services.
MAT BENEFITS
Medications relieve the withdrawal systems and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body. Evidence based practice has shown that when provided at the proper dose, medications used in MAT have no adverse effects on a person’s intelligence, mental capability, or physical functioning.
