Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), is the most effective intervention to treat opioid use disorder. Combining the models of psychosocial therapy and the FDA-approved medication Suboxone, MAT significantly reduces illicit opioid use compared with nondrug approaches and increases access to therapies that can reduce overdose fatalities.

MAT has been shown to:

• Improve patient survival
• Increase retention in treatment
• Decrease illicit opiate use
• Increase clients’ ability to gain and maintain employment

After initial screenings and assessments to determine eligibility, Cenikor will work with the client to keep them informed on the progress of their treatment. Looking for more information? Reach out to our MAT team at matadmissionsteam@cenikor.org.
