Collaborative Approach

Collaboration is a cornerstone of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program at Greater Carolinas Womens Center. We believe that successful recovery requires a holistic approach, incorporating both medication and therapy. Our team works closely with patients to find the right medication that can help reduce cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms, while therapy and counseling sessions address the underlying causes and triggers of addiction.

Range of FDA-Approved Medications

As a leading provider of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), we offer a range of FDA-approved medications that have shown significant success in treating substance use disorders. These medications include:

  • Buprenorphine: Buprenorphine is an FDA-approved medication that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms. It is available in various forms, including tablets and film. Our experienced team will determine the most suitable form and dosage for each patient.
  • Methadone: Methadone is a long-acting opioid agonist that effectively reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Our physicians closely monitor patients on methadone to ensure safe and optimal results.
  • Naltrexone: Naltrexone blocks the effects of opioids and reduces cravings. It is available in oral form or as a monthly injection, allowing for flexibility depending on the patient's needs.

Therapy and Counseling

In addition to medication, therapy and counseling play a crucial role in our Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program. Our experienced therapists are trained in evidence-based approaches to addiction recovery, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and individual and group counseling sessions. These therapeutic interventions help individuals develop coping skills, address underlying emotional issues, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery.
