Medication Assisted Therapy

What is it?

MAT is a combination of medication(s) that treat addiction and therapies including individual and/or group counseling. When used in combination, MAT patients are better able to meet their goals in life and health. Prairie Ridge offers all options available for MAT with patient-centered decision making and care.

 

MAT Treatment Has Been Shown to:

  • Lower your risk of relapse.
  • Improve well-being.
  • Increase your ability to fulfill goals, such as maintaining a job.
  • Improve birth outcomes among women who have substance use disorders and are pregnant.
  • Decrease the risk of getting HIV or hepatitis C, protecting both yourself and others.
