Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in San Diego

What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy to treat substance use disorders. It’s particularly effective for opioid, alcohol, and prescription drug addiction. At Golden Coast Rehab, MAT is never a “one-size-fits-all” solution—we carefully assess each client’s history, goals, and medical needs before incorporating MAT into their outpatient care. Our goal is to support both the physical and psychological sides of recovery for greater long-term success.

How MAT Supports Recovery

MAT reduces withdrawal symptoms, stabilizes brain chemistry, and makes relapse less likely—especially in the early stages of treatment. When paired with therapy and support, it helps clients rebuild their lives with greater focus and confidence.

• Suboxone and Naltrexone for opioid addiction
  
• Vivitrol and Acamprosate for alcohol use disorder
  
• Psychiatric monitoring to adjust dosing and ensure safety

MAT can be a game-changer for individuals who’ve struggled with relapse or found detox alone unsustainable. If you’re battling opioid or alcohol dependence, MAT may help you regain balance and reduce cravings while you engage in therapy and rebuild your life. At Golden Coast Rehab, our San Diego team provides MAT within a comprehensive care plan—so you’re not just taking medication, you’re building a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
