According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), MAT is “the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.
Medications used are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are clinically driven and tailored to meet each patient’s needs.”
Research shows that combining medication and therapy can successfully treat substance use disorders. For some people, medications can help sustain recovery. Medications are also used to prevent or reduce opioid overdose.
State funding is available to cover the cost for individuals who are uninsured or under-insured.
Depending on your insurance company, Ascensa Health may qualify under out-of-network benefits. If you do not have insurance, we can still serve you.
The length of the program is based on the level of care needed and is determined for each person after completing an individualized comprehensive assessment. This looks different for everyone because everyone has unique needs. For Residential Treatment, people generally stay for 60-90 days. Outpatient and Recovery Support is available for as long as needed.
