Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with a comprehensive counseling program, which is proven effective in the treatment of opioid use and alcohol use disorders. The medications are FDA approved and can help some people to sustain recovery. SAC partners with Treasure Coast Community Health to offer Medication Assisted Treatment at no cost to those without insurance and can even assist with high co-payments. We want to make sure these effective medications are available to all who may benefit. Medications include Vivitrol/Naltrexone for the treatment of alcohol or opiate use disorder; and Buprenorphine for the treatment of opiate use disorder. Methadone is also an FDA approved medication for the treatment of opiate use disorder but is only available through a licensed program; the closest program to Indian River County is the Central Florida Treatment Center. https://methadoneworks.net/. Please contact the SAC office for more information or to learn more about a free MAT education session.
