Medications Used in MAT
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) utilizes several FDA-approved medications that are specifically designed to help manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery from substance use disorders. The most commonly used medications in MAT include:
Trauma-informed care is a way of recognizing this reality and providing real help for those who have experienced trauma. It reduces fear and promotes healing through respect, understanding, safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, and self-empowerment.
Suboxone helps manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings by binding to the same receptors in the brain as other opioids but without producing the same euphoric effects.
Subutex is buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that helps manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
Who Are the Best Candidates for MAT?
Medication-assisted treatment can be beneficial for any individual struggling with a substance use disorder, particularly those with an addiction to opioids and alcohol. However, it’s important to note that MAT isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution.
Those who have a diagnosed addiction and are willing to comply with all components of a comprehensive treatment plan, including medication management, counseling, and behavioral therapies.
Have attempted other forms of treatment and found them ineffective.
Are healthy enough to take the prescribed medications and can commit to regular check-ups.
These individuals are often able to reap the most benefits from MAT. However, the ultimate decision should be made in collaboration with healthcare providers who can assess the patient’s overall health, addiction history, and readiness to change.
At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, we understand the unique challenges of recovery and work closely with our patients to determine the best treatment plan for their needs.

Why Choose Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery
At CMAR, we understand that long-lasting recovery demands much more than a prescription. Recovery is a challenging personal journey of incremental change, and medication is only one element of treatment.
We know that many people suffering from substance use disorder may also have co-occurring other mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety. We look at the family, social supports, and prior history of trauma and develop individual treatment plans accordingly. We believe treating mental health alongside addiction is an indispensable part of our opioid addiction treatment programs and alcohol addiction treatment programs.
We help our patients identify the causes of anger, fear, sadness, and loneliness and provide tools to cope effectively so they don’t cause a relapse.
