Suboxone and Other Medically Assisted Treatment

The Other Side with Richie H.

One new aspect of addiction treatment that has become popular in recent years is the use of medically assisted treatment (also known as MAT). It is used to treat many substance use disorders as well as to prevent overdose. Due to the recent opioid epidemic, MAT is being used as an alternative to abstinence based recovery. MAT is primarily used for the treatment of addiction to opioids such as heroin and prescription pain relievers that contain opiates. In this episode, we’ll explore the effectiveness of Suboxone and other medically assisted treatment when treating substance use disorder.
