To Answer your questions
What is medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Addiction is a chronic brain disease, and people affected by addiction can experience both emotional and behavioral changes. Though there are many ways of treating addiction, the effectiveness of those treatments varies based on the type that’s recommended.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is widely accepted as an effective way to manage addiction for some individuals. In this article, we’ll be discussing MAT in general and how it would work to treat certain types of addictions. What Medications are Used In MAT? Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, is a type of treatment for substance abuse disorders that involves the use of medication.
The medication is used to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, and it can also help to restore balance in the brain. MAT can be used to treat a variety of substance abuse disorders, including alcohol dependence, opioid dependence, and methamphetamine dependence. There are a variety of medications that can be used in MAT, and the type of medication that is used will depend on the individual and the severity of their disorder.
Some of the medications that are commonly used in MAT include: methadone buprenorphine naltrexone Acamprosate disulfiram There are three main types of medication that are used in MAT: methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone.
Tell me more about Suboxone
Suboxone® (Buprenorphine and Naloxone) is a medication that contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, and Naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Buprenorphine prevents the “high” from other opioids by binding to the same receptors in the brain as opioids, but with a much weaker effect.
Naloxone (also known as Narcan®) is used to reverse an overdose of opioids such as heroin and prescription painkillers. Naloxone blocks the “high” from other opioids and reverses the respiratory depression caused by opioids.
Suboxone® is used to treat addiction to heroin and other opiates. It can also be used to ease withdrawal symptoms in people who are trying to quit using opioids. Suboxone® is taken under the tongue or in the cheek and dissolves quickly. It is usually taken once a day, but may be taken more often if needed.
Subutex® (Buprenorphine), like Suboxone®, is a medication used to treat addiction to heroin and other opiates. Subutex®, however, does not contain Naloxone and therefore will not reverse an overdose
Suboxone® is one such medication used in MAT. It is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, and is used to treat opioid dependence. Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor, which means that it produces some of the same effects as opioids such as heroin or oxycodone, but not to the same degree. This partial agonist effect reduces the risk of abuse and overdose while still providing some relief from withdrawal symptoms. Naloxone is an antagonist at the mu-opioid receptor, which means that it blocks the effects of opioids. It is included in Suboxone® to deter abuse by injection.
Suboxone® is taken orally, usually once daily. It comes in both tablet and film
