Medication-Assisted Treatment Services at Clear Steps Recovery
Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, is a client-centered approach to treating drug and alcohol use disorders. MAT combines the use of approved medications with counseling, behavioral therapy, and other support services to provide a comprehensive approach to treating addiction. The medications used in MAT work by blocking the pleasurable effects of drugs or alcohol, reducing cravings, and helping to prevent relapse.
At Clear Steps Recovery in New Hampshire, we believe every client is capable of living a life in recovery, and our MAT services are tailored to support the needs of each individual. We combine FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to target withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and the risk of relapse. Contact us to learn how we can help you.
