    What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

    Medication-Assisted Treatment is the clinical use of FDA-approved medications, combined with counseling and behavioral therapy, to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders. The medications stabilize brain chemistry, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and lower cravings, while therapy addresses the psychological and social drivers of addiction. MAT treats the whole condition, not just the physical dependence.

    For opioid use disorder, MAT uses buprenorphine and naltrexone to ease withdrawal and block the euphoric effects of opioids. For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram reduce cravings and support long-term abstinence. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) classifies MAT as a first-line, evidence-based standard for opioid use disorder.

    At Still Detox, MAT begins after medical detox stabilizes the body. Our Medical Director evaluates you in person within 24 hours, selects medications based on your substance, dependence level, and medical history, and integrates treatment for any co-occurring mental health conditions in our calm, 14-bed private setting.

    Real Reviews From Our Boca Raton Patients

    People come to Still Detox at their most vulnerable. Here's what they say about the care, the staff, and their recovery.

    Which Substance Use Disorders Does MAT Treat?

    MAT is most established for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. Our clinical team matches each medication to your substance, dependence level, and medical history, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

    Opioid Use Disorder Buprenorphine · Naltrexone

    Buprenorphine eases withdrawal and cravings; naltrexone blocks opioid effects once detox is complete. MAT lowers overdose risk and improves treatment retention.

    Alcohol Use Disorder Naltrexone · Acamprosate

    Naltrexone reduces the reward associated with drinking, acamprosate normalizes brain activity, and disulfiram deters use. MAT pairs with counseling to support long-term abstinence.

    What Medications Are Used in MAT?

    MAT uses five FDA-approved medications, each targeting a different aspect of addiction. Our Medical Director selects and doses them based on your substance, medical history, and recovery goals. The medication is one half of treatment; behavioral therapy is the other.

    Buprenorphine · Opioid Use Disorder

    A partial opioid agonist that eases withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings without producing the full euphoric effect of other opioids. Often the first-line medication for opioid dependence.

    Methadone · Opioid Use Disorder

    A full opioid agonist used in highly structured settings to manage withdrawal and prevent relapse in long-standing or severe opioid dependence.

    Naltrexone & Vivitrol · Opioids and Alcohol

    An opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces alcohol cravings. Used for relapse prevention once detox is complete. Vivitrol is the extended-release monthly injection.

    Acamprosate · Alcohol Use Disorder

    Helps normalize brain activity disrupted by chronic alcohol consumption. Used to support abstinence after alcohol detox.

    Disulfiram · Alcohol Use Disorder

    Causes unpleasant reactions when alcohol is consumed, serving as a deterrent for motivated patients in alcohol recovery.

    How Does MAT Work at Still Detox?

    02

    Pre-Assessment

    Living Proof: Inspiring Journeys of Alumni

    These are real before-and-after moments from people who completed treatment and embraced lasting sobriety. Each one reflects more than a physical change; it's the renewed purpose, strength, and hope that recovery makes possible.

    Why You Should Not Stop MAT Abruptly

    Buprenorphine & Methadone

    Stopping opioid-agonist medication abruptly triggers a return of withdrawal symptoms and cravings, sharply raising relapse and overdose risk. These medications require a physician-guided taper, not an abrupt stop.

    Naltrexone & Vivitrol

    Discontinuing naltrexone removes the block on opioid receptors. Tolerance drops during treatment, so relapse after stopping carries a heightened overdose risk that must be managed clinically.

    Acamprosate & Disulfiram

    For alcohol use disorder, stopping medication without a relapse-prevention plan removes craving control and the behavioral support that keeps recovery stable. The decision should be made with your clinical team.

    Insurance & Payment for Medication-Assisted Treatment

    Still Detox is an out-of-network provider for most insurance plans.

    Medication-Assisted Treatment FAQ

    What is MAT and how does it work?
    Medication-Assisted Treatment combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders. The medications stabilize brain chemistry, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and lower cravings, while therapy addresses the psychological and social roots of addiction. At Still Detox, MAT begins after detox and continues into residential care.
    What is the new term for medication-assisted treatment?
    The field increasingly uses "Medications for Opioid Use Disorder" (MOUD) and "Medications for Addiction Treatment" in place of MAT, because the medications are treatment, not an "assist" to it. SAMHSA and clinicians use these terms to reduce stigma. Still Detox provides the same evidence-based medications under any of these names.
    How long does medication-assisted treatment last?
    MAT duration is individualized. For some, it is a short-term intervention of a few months during stabilization. For long-standing or severe substance use disorders, MAT can be a long-term maintenance therapy that continues for years. The length is set with your clinical team based on progress, co-occurring conditions, and relapse risk.
    Can you stop MAT abruptly?
    No. Stopping opioid-agonist medications like buprenorphine or methadone abruptly returns withdrawal symptoms and sharply raises relapse and overdose risk because tolerance drops. MAT should be tapered under physician supervision with a relapse-prevention plan, never stopped on your own.
    What is the success rate of medication-assisted treatment?
    Per SAMHSA, patients who receive MAT for opioid use disorder are significantly more likely to remain in treatment and achieve sustained recovery than those in abstinence-only programs. MAT also lowers overdose risk and improves quality of life. Outcomes are strongest when medication is combined with counseling.
    Does insurance cover MAT at Still Detox?
    Still Detox is an out-of-network provider for most plans. Many clients with PPO insurance that includes out-of-network benefits are able to apply that coverage toward MAT and detox. Our admissions team verifies your specific benefits at no cost before admission so there are no surprises. Call (561) 556-2677 or use the verification form above.
    Is MAT safe?
    Yes. MAT medications are FDA-approved and considered safe when administered under medical supervision. Like all medications they can have side effects, so our clinical team monitors patients closely, adjusts dosages, and pairs medication with behavioral therapy to address the underlying drivers of addiction.
    What are the cons of medication-assisted therapy?
    MAT can involve side effects, requires ongoing medical monitoring, and, for opioid-agonist medications, carries its own physical dependence that must be tapered carefully. Medication alone is not a cure; without counseling, outcomes are weaker. At Still Detox, integrated therapy and supervision are built in to manage these limitations.

    Medication-Assisted Treatment is the beginning. Our team is on-site around the clock, admissions are available now for a same-day assessment, and a full continuum of residential care is waiting on the other side of detox, a real foundation for lasting recovery, not just a few managed days.
