Detox is the initial phase of any addiction treatment program. To give the body a new beginning, this entails completely quitting substance misuse. However, this procedure results in intense withdrawal symptoms that can negatively impact an individual’s health and increase their likelihood of relapsing. At Pillars Recovery, we provide medication-assisted treatment to help our clients through their detox and rehabilitation processes.
Substance use disorders often cause significant changes in the brain, leading to cravings and withdrawal symptoms that can make recovery challenging. MAT uses medications to stabilize brain chemistry, reduce cravings, and block the euphoric effects of certain substances. This medical support allows individuals to focus on the therapeutic aspects of their recovery, such as developing healthier coping strategies and addressing the root causes of their addiction.
Reduced Cravings and Withdrawal Symptoms
Medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone help alleviate withdrawal symptoms, allowing individuals to focus on their recovery without the constant burden of cravings.
Improved Retention in Treatment
By addressing the physical challenges of addiction, MAT increases the likelihood that individuals will stay engaged in their treatment programs.
Lower Risk of Relapse
Medications used in MAT can block the effects of opioids or alcohol, reducing the appeal of returning to substance use.
Enhanced Quality of Life
With cravings under control, individuals can focus on rebuilding relationships, pursuing employment opportunities, and achieving personal goals.
If you or a loved one is struggling with substance use, MAT may be a valuable part of your recovery plan. This approach is particularly effective for individuals dealing with opioid or alcohol addiction, offering a proven pathway to stability and healing.
