Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction uses medications such as Suboxone (buprenorphine) to block the euphoric effects of opioids, relieve cravings, and stabilize brain chemistry. Research shows that MAT is effective in decreasing opiate cravings and preventing relapse among people addicted to opiates. MAT is available at our Hartford and East Hartford locations.
