If you or a loved one is seeking help for addiction, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can provide a path to recovery. Incorporating FDA-approved medications that reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms into a comprehensive treatment program can help people stay in recovery for longer periods of time. Through medication, psychodynamic and behavioral therapies, case management, and peer support, MAT can help patients reach their treatment goals. At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, we offer medication-assisted treatment programs focused on treating individuals with opioid addiction in Denver and the surrounding areas.
Call 833.448.0127 today to get started with MAT and to find out how we can help you on your journey to recovery. Our addiction treatment center can support you every step of the way.
Medication-assisted treatment is the use of FDA-approved medications, such as naltrexone and buprenorphine, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. MAT works by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms that may lead to relapse. These cravings are often the result of changes in the brain caused by repeated drug use. MAT helps to restore balance to these areas of the brain and can help participants stay in recovery for longer periods of time.
As part of our MAT programs, we incorporate the following into treatment:
One medication used at CMAR to treat opioid addiction is buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is an opioid with partial agonist and antagonist properties and is an FDA-approved medication for the treatment of opioid use disorder. Unlike other opioids, buprenorphine is safe to take for extended periods of time because it lacks the ability to provide the user with a euphoric experience. Buprenorphine has been shown to improve recovery rates, treatment outcomes, and treatment retention while reducing the chances an individual experiences an overdose or infectious disease related to substance use.
Our team may recommend that you take this medicine alone (which is called Subutex) or in combination with naloxone. In either case, buprenorphine can relieve the opioid withdrawal symptoms that appear when someone abruptly decreases their opioid intake or stops using opioids altogether.
Suboxone is used to treat opioid dependence as well as chronic pain. Suboxone is a brand-name medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone. The combination of these two medications helps to reduce cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and the risk of relapse. Suboxone should be used with psychosocial treatment as part of a comprehensive opioid addiction treatment plan.
Suboxone comes in a pill form as well as in strip form, both of which are dissolved under the tongue (sublingual). At CMAR, we also prescribe injectable Suboxone, called Sublocade. In fact, we are one of only a few drug addiction rehab centers in Colorado that prescribes Sublocade, and we are one of just a few qualified Sublocade injection locations in Colorado. Sublocade is hugely beneficial for certain individuals because it lasts weeks and even months, as opposed to days like regular Suboxone.
Naltrexone is an FDA-approved medication used to treat opioid and alcohol use disorders. It works by blocking the effects of opioids, such as euphoria, sedation, and pain relief. Naltrexone binds to certain areas in the brain that are involved in drug reinforcement and helps reduce craving for a substance. It also blocks the effects of any opioids that may be taken after the treatment begins.
At CMAR, we offer both oral and injectable forms of naltrexone. The oral form of naltrexone is usually taken once a day, while the injectable form (Vivitrol) is taken monthly. Vivitrol has been shown to reduce relapse rates among those in recovery from opioid addiction. We have seen tremendous success with Vivitrol, and it is a great option for those who are looking for a long-acting medication that can help them stay on track in their recovery.
At CMAR, we understand that recovery demands so much more than a mere medication prescription. Recovery is a challenging personal journey of incremental change. That’s why medication is just a part of our approach.
One of the most valuable parts of our opioid addiction treatment program is the co-occurring addiction and mental health programs we offer. We understand that many individuals suffering from substance use disorder may also suffer from other mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety. We guide patients in processing experiences that continue to negatively impact them. We look at the family system, social supports, and prior history of trauma or abuse. Finally, we help our patients find the causes of anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, and other trigger emotions and provide tools so they don’t cause relapse.
There’s hope for a better life. If you or a loved one is seeking help for opioid addiction, CMAR can provide the support and resources needed to get on the path to recovery. Our MAT program incorporates medication-assisted treatment with psychotherapy, case management services, and peer support for long-term recovery.
