Evidence-Based Addiction Recovery
with Lasting Results
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven, FDA-approved approach to treating substance use disorders—especially opioid and alcohol addiction. At Insight Mental Health & Recovery in Plantation, FL, we offer personalized MAT programs that combine medications with behavioral therapy to support long-term recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.

Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment
What Is MAT?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a science-backed approach that uses medications like Buprenorphine (Sublocade, Brixadi) and Naltrexone (Vivitrol) alongside counseling. Unlike detox-only programs, MAT treats both the physical symptoms of addiction and the behavioral patterns that sustain it—resulting in higher success rates and reduced relapse risk.
At IMHNR, MAT is tailored to your needs and delivered by experienced psychiatric professionals in a compassionate, judgment-free setting.

Tailored for Real Recovery
Conditions Treated with MAT
We use MAT to support individuals facing a range of substance-related disorders, including:
Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
Recovery from heroin, fentanyl, or prescription opioid addiction through
long-acting medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Medically supported treatment that blocks the rewarding effects of alcohol and helps maintain long-term sobriety.
Prescription Drug Dependence
(e.g., Xanax, painkillers)
Targeted MAT plans to treat benzodiazepine and painkiller addiction while supporting emotional regulation and safe tapering.

Methadone generally has stronger opioid effects than Suboxone.
Suboxone has a built-in safety limit called a ceiling effect, which lowers overdose risk. Your provider will help decide which option is safest for your situation.

Mixing these substances can slow breathing and increase overdose risk. Always tell your provider about every medication you take.
