MAT Addiction Treatment in Newark

When you are living with an active opioid addiction or alcohol addiction, you have experienced hardships and challenges due to your addictive behaviors which have led to thoughts about seeking treatment within an addiction treatment program. Both substances are highly addictive and can create a significant impact on your day to day life often leading to physical, emotional, and mental dependence to drugs and alcohol. At Quantum Behavioral Health, we understand the nature of addiction and that it is a disease that is personal to each person that it impacts. It is rare that you will find a person who had intentions of developing an addiction to drugs and alcohol. Addiction occurs over a period of time often due to underlying emotions and traumas that have influenced how you respond to negative situations or emotions. When you are faced with hardship or adversity, it is easy to search for a way to numb your emotions or manage any presenting triggers by escaping with drugs and alcohol. Quantum Behavioral Health will provide you with a treatment program that is individualized to meet your needs for healing and personal growth. Our team will provide evidence based therapy methods that will support you in uncovering your root causes of substance abuse and support you in safely removing the physical, emotional, and mental addiction that has developed.

Newark residents that are living with a severe opioid addiction or alcohol addiction and are thinking about seeking treatment within an addiction treatment center, there are often questions or hesitations about the upcoming detox and rehab process. For those individuals that have attempted to quit drug and alcohol on their own before, you have most likely felt the unpleasant side effects and withdrawal symptoms that can occur from a severe drug and alcohol addiction. Many will be concerned about going through a drug or alcohol detox for this reason which is where our medical team and addiction counselors will be able to put your mind at ease as you will be supported by highly credentialed staff through evidence based therapy methods. A medically assisted treatment program will provide you with the support you need to safely and successfully overcome the physical dependence that has developed from your substance abuse while alleviating any presenting side effects and discomforts. Patients will be supported on your road to recovery with a combination of medically assisted treatment and evidence based therapy methods including behavioral therapy, dual diagnosis treatment, trauma therapy, 12 step programs, and family therapy that will facilitate a long lasting change towards a new lifestyle in addiction recovery.

What Is MAT?

A medically assisted treatment (MAT) program is a form of addiction treatment that supports Newark residents that are living with a severe opioid addiction or alcohol addiction. While addiction of any kind can cause serious side effects within its users, opioid abuse and alcohol abuse can have a powerful hold on someone and create significant or serious side effects including painful, sometimes life threatening, withdrawal symptoms along with severe urges or cravings for drugs and alcohol. Oftentimes, when individuals begin to feel the serious side effects of these substances, many will relapse and begin using drugs and alcohol again as a way to curb the onset of the unpleasant or painful withdrawal symptoms. A MAT program will incorporate the use of FDA approved medication that is designed to work within your body to reduce the onset of severe withdrawal symptoms while reducing the presence of drug or alcohol cravings. Patients will be able to remain physically comfortable and safe while being able to remain focused on your addiction recovery goals and progress to successfully overcome your substance use disorders.

A MAT program will often begin once a person enters into alcohol or drug detox. However, there are times when patients are unable to begin a detox program right away but you are focused on starting your addiction recovery process right away. Patients that are waiting for a spot to become available in detox or need to tie up loose ends with other responsibilities before starting addiction treatment will have the option of starting your MAT program within an outpatient rehab in Newark. Once you are in an alcohol detox for drug detox program, you will be able to continue with your MAT program while beginning the important and necessary work of addiction therapy and treatment programs. The more you progress through your addiction treatment program and begin to restore your physical and mental health from the impacts of drug and alcohol addiction, you will be able to start the process of slowly tapering off the medications provided in your MAT program. Our team of medical professionals within Quantum Behavioral Health will monitor your progress and assess your physical and mental health to ensure that your tapering off process will be completed at an appropriate time that will set you up for success in addiction recovery.

What To Expect During MAT?

As you prepare to begin your MAT program, many will have questions about what they expect in their recovery process. When you first start your treatment program, you will meet with your highly trained and credentialed medical team and addiction counselors that will complete initial intake paperwork and assessments that will support our team in gaining an understanding of the severity of your drug or alcohol addiction. With the insight on your history of substance abuse, our team will be able to determine the levels of care that you require to safely overcome your substance use disorders. If our team deems a MAT program to be the best course of action in your addiction treatment, you will be offered the choice in participating. Participation in a MAT program is voluntary and our team will provide you with the education about your specific program so that you can make a decision that feels right for you. If you agree to participate in a MAT program, you will be offered one of the following medications to take that will assist in reducing the severity of your withdrawal symptoms and reduce strong cravings or urges for drugs and alcohol.

• Methadone
• Naltrexone
• Buprenorphine (also known as suboxone)

An essential part of a MAT program is to provide patients with the support of evidence based therapy methods that will help you understand the root causes of your drug or alcohol addiction. Patients will be able to gain an understanding of the root causes of your substance abuse while developing the tools for relapse prevention and living in addiction recovery.
