At Amity Palm Beach, we understand that overcoming addiction is not simply about willpower—it’s about giving your body and mind the tools they need to heal. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy and counseling to address the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of substance use disorders. This integrated approach has been shown to improve treatment retention, reduce the risk of relapse, and support long-term sobriety.
Our MAT program is physician-led, evidence-based, and customized to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking help for opioid dependence, alcohol use disorder, or other substance-related challenges, our team is here to provide compassionate, stigma-free care.
What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment uses carefully prescribed medications—such as Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), Naltrexone, or other approved options—to help stabilize brain chemistry, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and curb cravings. Unlike substituting one substance for another, MAT works in conjunction with counseling and lifestyle changes to address the underlying causes of addiction.
MAT is not a one-size-fits-all approach. At Amity Palm Beach, our medical team evaluates your health history, substance use patterns, and treatment goals to develop a plan that works for you.
Benefits of MAT
Patients in our MAT program often experience:
Reduced Cravings – Making it easier to focus on therapy and recovery goals.
Stabilized Brain Function – Restoring balance to brain chemistry impacted by prolonged substance use.
Improved Treatment Retention – Increasing the likelihood of completing treatment programs.
Lower Relapse Risk – Providing a safety net during the most vulnerable stages of recovery.
Improved Quality of Life – Allowing individuals to rebuild relationships, careers, and personal wellness.
Research from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) supports MAT as one of the most effective strategies for treating opioid and alcohol addiction.
Who Is MAT For?
MAT may be recommended for individuals who:
Are struggling with opioid dependence or alcohol use disorder.
Have experienced repeated relapses during abstinence-based recovery attempts.
Need help managing withdrawal symptoms during early recovery.
Are motivated to engage in both medical treatment and counseling.
While MAT can be life-changing, it is not suitable for everyone. Our clinical team conducts a thorough assessment to ensure MAT is safe and appropriate for your circumstances.
