Pine Heights Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC), located in Baltimore, Maryland, offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who have developed opioid addictions. Combining prescription medication with counseling, MAT can be a safe and effective approach for helping patients withdraw from opioids and begin laying the foundation for lasting recovery. Taking medication through a MAT program can help alleviate discomfort during the withdrawal process, providing you with mental clarity that can allow you to focus on your recovery goals. To support your recovery efforts, the therapy MAT provides can also help you make positive life changes and give you the chance to process your experiences and receive valuable support. The use of MAT for opioid addiction treatment is recommended by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Both organizations note that MAT can improve retention in treatment and increase patient survival.
