MAT Service Explainer · Medication Component
Medication-Assisted Treatment at Valley Spring Recovery Center is the medication component of addiction care, not a standalone program. MAT combines FDA-approved pharmacotherapy with the clinical work delivered inside PC, IOP, Outpatient, and Virtual programs. For opioid use disorder, MAT options include buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex), extended-release buprenorphine (Brixadi), and naltrexone (oral ReVia, extended-release Vivitrol). For alcohol use disorder, MAT options include naltrexone and acamprosate. The on-staff psychiatric provider conducts the clinical evaluation and prescribes the appropriate medication.

Program Details
Valley Spring's MAT program serves adults managing opioid or alcohol use disorders who need medical stabilization alongside therapy. Clients work with Valley Spring Recovery Center's on-staff psychiatrist to find the right medication protocol while building coping skills through individual and group sessions. This program fits around the client's work and family schedule with once-weekly appointments that can be attended in-person or virtually.
MAT works differently from traditional outpatient therapy because the treatment team understands addiction medicine. The psychiatrist coordinates directly with the therapist, so medication adjustments align with therapy progress.

Clinical Process
Phase 1
Valley Spring's medical team conducts a comprehensive evaluation during intake, reviewing substance use history, current medications, and any withdrawal symptoms. The appropriate FDA-approved medication protocol is determined and medical stabilization begins immediately. The therapist completes a biopsychosocial assessment to identify underlying issues and treatment goals.
Phase 2
As medication stabilizes physical symptoms, clients engage in individual therapy sessions focused on building coping skills and relapse prevention strategies. The therapist uses evidence-based approaches like CBT and DBT to help clients identify triggers and develop healthy responses. Group sessions provide peer support and practical skills training.
Phase 3
With the medication protocol established and coping skills developing, clients practice applying these tools in real-world situations while maintaining work and family responsibilities. The psychiatrist may adjust medication dosing based on progress and any side effects. Therapy sessions focus on integrating recovery skills into daily routine.
Phase 4
As clients demonstrate stability and skill mastery, the treatment team develops a transition plan for long-term maintenance through community providers. The psychiatrist coordinates with outside providers to support continuity of the medication protocol, while the therapist helps identify ongoing support resources.
