OneWorld Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
OneWorld is proud to offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for people who are struggling with substance use disorders. MAT combines behavioral health therapy and medications like Buprenorphine/Suboxone and others to treat substance use disorders. We provide a holistic, individually tailored program designed to address each patient’s individual needs.
Who can receive treatment?
We primarily use MAT to treat people who are addicted to opioids like heroin and prescription pain relievers, but we can also use it to treat people who have alcohol use disorders and smoking addictions.
What does the medication do?
The prescribed medications act to block the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, relieve cravings and normalize body functions without the negative effects that accompany the abused drug. We prescribe FDA-approved medications (Buprenorphine/Suboxone and others) based on each patient’s individual needs.
Why is behavioral health part of MAT?
Research shows that combining medication and behavioral health services can successfully treat substance use disorders and help sustain recovery. Different patients may need different types of behavioral health services.
What is the ultimate goal of MAT?
We want each patient using MAT to make a full recovery and to live an empowered, self-directed life.
To make an appointment to discuss MAT, please call (402) 734-4110.
Important:
Before using MAT, tell your provider if you are currently taking anxiety medications including derivatives of Benzodiazepine, such as Xanax or valium. Combining these medications with the medications used in MAT can be fatal.
