MAT/SUBOXONE PROGRAM FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER
How does Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) work? Suboxone is an opioid replacement therapy that combines Buprenorphine and Naloxone to reduce cravings and prevent withdrawal symptoms. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is medication and mental health counseling. The combination of medication and behavioral therapy is what treats addiction effectively. Suboxone (and other Buprenorphine-based medication) staves off physical withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Mental health counseling helps patients address the emotional and behavioral issues associated with their addiction. Evidence-based research shows that neither one is as effective on their own as they are together.

VIVITROL PROGRAM FOR ALCOHOL DEPENDENCE
The urge to drink alcohol is experienced in the brain. When people who are prone to alcohol dependence drink the brain releases an excessive amount of pleasurable chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins cause the release of another pleasurable chemical called Dopamine. This is primarily responsible for the urge to drink and alcoholism. Vivitrol blocks endorphins from attaching to brain cells. This may prevent the excessive release of Dopamine. It is believed that this is how Vivitrol may block the excessive reward of alcohol. Vivitrol has been used for some time to reduce cravings but the alcohol dependent individuals tend to miss daily dosages when it is taken orally. This can end up in relapse. Taking Vivitrol, via injection, causes a month long release of the drug which will partially block the pleasure the patient can experience from drinking alcohol. Vivitrol is only an enhancement to mental health counseling and other therapeutic processes.
