Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Greylock Recovery: A Path to Connection and Healing
When it comes to treating substance use disorders—especially opioid and alcohol addiction—Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) offers a comprehensive approach that combines medications with counseling and therapy. This method isn’t just about managing symptoms—it’s about providing a full, lasting recovery. And at Greylock Recovery, we’re committed to helping you take this holistic journey toward healing.
How MAT Supports Recovery
For many, the physical and emotional barriers of withdrawal can make recovery feel out of reach. MAT helps ease these challenges, allowing individuals to focus on the most important part of healing—reconnecting with themselves and their community. By reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, MAT provides the foundation for stability, so people can begin to engage in therapy, build resilience, and develop meaningful support systems that sustain long-term recovery.
But MAT is more than medication—it’s part of a comprehensive, harm reduction-based approach that includes:
✅ Personalized therapy, including DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care
✅ Peer connection through Greylock’s curated community and alumni support
✅ Case management to address social, legal, and medical needs
✅ Greylock’s Family Forward Program to strengthen recovery within families
Medications Used in MAT
We recognize that each individual’s recovery is unique, and MAT is not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Greylock Recovery, we work collaboratively with each person to identify the right treatment plan based on their needs and goals.
For Opioid Use Disorder:
-
Methadone – Helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, supporting long-term stabilization.
-
Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade) – Reduces cravings and withdrawal with a lower risk of misuse.
-
Naltrexone (Vivitrol) – Blocks opioid effects and prevents relapse without causing physical dependence.
For Alcohol Use Disorder:
-
Disulfiram (Antabuse) – Creates negative reactions when alcohol is consumed, reinforcing abstinence.
-
Acamprosate (Campral) – Helps reduce cravings and anxiety after alcohol withdrawal.
-
Naltrexone (Vivitrol) – Reduces alcohol’s pleasurable effects, decreasing the urge to drink.
