Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in New Hampshire
Medication-assisted treatment can be a life-changing step toward recovery. At EmeraldCare, we make it easier with expert evaluations, personalized treatment, and ongoing support—from home or in-person.
What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based form of treatment for substance use disorders, using FDA-regulated medications in tandem with other therapies. It helps reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and support stability. At EmeraldCare, we use various medications. Your provider will recommend the one for you after a thorough assessment of your history and needs.
Support for Opioid & Alcohol Recovery
Everyone’s recovery looks different. That’s why we offer a variety of MAT options, so you can find the treatment that fits best—whether it’s oral prescriptions to extended-release injections. You can focus on your recovery from opioid or alcohol addiction at your own pace.
Brixadi, Sublocade, Vivitrol
These long-acting injectable medications release slowly over time, helping you stay focused on recovery without daily dosing. By releasing medication gradually, they support consistent relief from cravings and help prevent relapse.
Suboxone, Subutex, Zubsolv
These buprenorphine-based medications are used for opioid dependence. Taken sublingually or orally, they reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal, and maintain stability. We’ll guide you through your options and check in regularly to ensure you’re getting the support you need.
Co-Occurring Disorder Treatment
If you’re also navigating mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder, you’re not alone. Our MAT program includes support for co-occurring conditions and dual diagnosis treatment. Your provider will work with you to ensure your treatment plan addresses your overwell emotional and mental health as well.
