Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
A Science-Based Approach to Lasting Recovery
At Avan Wellness Center, our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program combines FDA-approved medications with evidence-based therapy to support individuals recovering from opioid and alcohol addiction. By addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, MAT helps reduce withdrawal symptoms, curb cravings, and stabilize brain chemistry for a more effective recovery process.

Lower Risk of Relapse – By stabilizing brain function, MAT improves long-term recovery success rates.
Improved Engagement in Therapy – Individuals can fully participate in counseling without severe withdrawal symptoms.
Comprehensive Care for Addiction & Mental Health – MAT is most effective when combined with behavioral therapy and counseling.
