Medication-assisted treatment in Nashville at Music City Detox is a comprehensive and evidence-based program used to address alcohol and substance use disorders. This innovative approach combines medication management with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide individuals with a holistic and supportive recovery journey. With a focus on compassionate care and lasting outcomes, our we utilize MAT at our Nashville detox programs to help individuals break free from the grip of addiction and regain control of their lives.
Our Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program combines medication, counseling, and behavioral therapies to address the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of addiction. The first step in our MAT is a thorough assessment to understand each client’s unique needs and develop a tailored treatment plan specifically for them.
Alongside medication management, we offer individual counseling where clients can explore underlying issues contributing to their addiction, learn healthy coping mechanisms, and develop relapse prevention strategies. Group therapy is also available and provides opportunities for peer support and connection within a supportive community.
Throughout the treatment process, our compassionate team will be there at every step, monitoring progress closely and making any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal outcomes. Additionally, with our aftercare services, we equip individuals with the tools needed for sustained recovery beyond detox treatment.
Vivitrol is a medication that is often used in MAT for alcohol and opioid dependence. It is an extended-release injection of naltrexone, a drug that blocks the effects of opioids and reduces cravings for alcohol.
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that helps reduce cravings and lessen withdrawal symptoms for opioids. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist used to block the euphoric effects of opioids and also helps prevent relapse.
Naloxone is primarily used as an emergency medication to reverse opioid overdoses. It quickly acts by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to block the effects of opioids. Naloxone can restore normal breathing and consciousness in someone experiencing an opioid overdose, potentially preventing fatalities.
Naltrexone is another MAT medication used for alcohol and opioid dependence. It works by blocking the effects of opioids or alcohol in the brain, helping to reduce cravings and discourage substance use.
MAT can be beneficial in helping individuals detox from various substances, including:
It is worth noting the medications used will vary depending on the substance addiction being treated and the withdrawal symptoms being experienced.
MAT is a highly effective approach to support individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). It combines the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to help alleviate and manage withdrawal symptoms during detox. In addition, certain MAT medications may be used long-term to help reduce cravings for opioids and lower the risks of relapsing.
MAT is also beneficial for individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Besides Vivitrol and Naltrexone, two other medications that might be used during detox and to help sustain sobriety post-detox are Acamprosate and Disulfiram.
Acamprosate works by stabilizing the brain chemistry disrupted by chronic alcohol consumption, helping to reduce withdrawal symptoms and maintain abstinence. Whereas Disulfiram discourages drinking by creating unpleasant physical reactions, such as nausea and vomiting, when alcohol is consumed.
When used alongside counseling and behavioral therapies, these medications can significantly enhance treatment outcomes and facilitate long-term recovery from AUD.
