At Pittsburgh Comprehensive Treatment Center (CTC) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adults age 18 and older who are suffering from opioid addictions. While many people are familiar with the services of methadone clinics in general, they may have questions about the specific programming and benefits of MAT. MAT is a form of opioid addiction treatment that uses prescription medication and counseling services to help people stop opioid use, prevent relapse, and maintain long-term recovery. The medications used in MAT can provide relief from the challenging symptoms and cravings associated with opioid withdrawal, making it easier for people to function in daily life and in treatment. However, recovery from opioid addiction often involves more than the physical process of stopping opioid use; it may require a person to address the social, emotional, and behavioral elements of the opioid addiction they have been struggling with. In MAT-provided therapy, you can work with trained professionals to address your holistic treatment needs and build a foundation for lasting health and recovery.
