Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

A Science-Backed Approach to Lasting Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) integrates proven medications with evidence-based therapy to help individuals safely recover from opioid or alcohol dependence. At Evolutions Detox in Northridge, CA, our MAT program is designed to ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support long-term sobriety through compassionate, medically supervised care.

By combining modern medicine with therapeutic healing, MAT gives individuals the stability and clarity they need to rebuild their health, regain control, and begin a sustainable journey toward recovery.

What Is MAT?

Medication-Assisted Treatment uses FDA-approved medications alongside behavioral therapy to help stabilize brain chemistry, relieve withdrawal symptoms, and reduce cravings. This balanced approach empowers clients to stay engaged in treatment, improving long-term success rates and overall well-being.

MAT Can Help You:

  • Safely manage withdrawal symptoms during detox

  • Reduce cravings for opioids or alcohol

  • Strengthen participation in counseling and therapy

  • Maintain sobriety through improved emotional stability

With proper medical oversight, MAT serves as a bridge between early detox and lasting behavioral change.

The Value of MAT in Recovery

Addiction affects both the mind and body, creating patterns that can feel impossible to escape. MAT helps interrupt those patterns by providing relief from the most difficult physical symptoms—allowing individuals to focus on personal growth and therapy.

Key Benefits of MAT Include:

  • Reduced risk of relapse through decreased cravings

  • Increased treatment retention and active engagement in therapy

  • Improved mental and physical health outcomes

  • Enhanced ability to rebuild structure and stability in daily life

Whether starting treatment for the first time or returning after relapse, MAT provides a foundation for progress, healing, and hope.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Medication-Assisted Treatment

At Evolutions Detox, our MAT program combines medication management, therapy, and holistic wellness to create a complete, individualized path to recovery. Every client’s treatment plan is guided by clinical expertise and compassionate care.

A Personalized Plan for Long-Term Wellness

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Addiction often coexists with anxiety, depression, or PTSD. We address these conditions simultaneously to create balance and reduce the risk of relapse.

Medication Management

Our licensed clinicians carefully prescribe and monitor medications such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, ensuring optimal results and safety throughout treatment.

Therapy and Counseling

MAT is most effective when paired with therapy. Clients participate in one-on-one, group, and family sessions to build coping skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and foster accountability.

Holistic Wellness

Beyond medication and talk therapy, we integrate yoga, mindfulness, nutrition education, and expressive arts to promote healing of the body, mind, and spirit.
