Medications Used in MAT:

  • Methadone: A long-acting opioid medication that is most effective for treating addiction to heroin and other opiates.
  • Buprenorphine: A partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings for opioids without causing the effects of the opiate to be experienced.
  • Naltrexone: An opioid receptor antagonist that blocks the euphoric and sedating effects of opioids.
  • Alcohol: Medications can help reduce drinking and improve quality of life. Naltrexone (FDA approved), Acamprosate (FDA approved), Topiramate (not FDA approved)
  • Cocaine: No approved medications exist, but Modafinil, and desipramine show promise, but further research is needed. Disulfiram is an option for those with co-occurring alcohol dependence.
  • Methamphetamine: No approved medications exist, but behavioral therapies and bupropion (under study) might be helpful.
  • Nicotine: Nicotine replacement therapies, varenicline, and bupropion can modestly aid smoking cessation.

How MAT Works:

MAT medications work by stabilizing the brain and body functions of the person affected by addiction. They help people feel normal, not high, and prevent withdrawal symptoms. The medications must be accompanied with the person participates in counseling and therapy to address the underlying causes of their addiction.

Important Considerations:

  • Support Services: Aftercare and support services are important for long-term recovery. Look for a program that offers ongoing support groups and counseling.
  • Individual Needs: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to MAT. The best program for you will depend on your individual needs and preferences.

Overall, MAT is a safe and effective treatment for opioid addiction. It can help people overcome addiction and return to productive lives.
