If you want to quit using opioids, have you considered medication-assisted treatment (MAT)? This evidence-based addiction treatment program uses medication, along with counseling and behavioral therapy, to help users recover from addiction. At Jovive Health, we’re proud to offer a medication-based opioid treatment program to qualifying patients in Chicago, Illinois, and the surrounding area.
The Benefits Offered by Medication-Assisted Treatment
If you’ve ever tried to stop using opioids in the past, you surely know how difficult it can be. Not only do you have to resist strong cravings, but you also must endure withdrawal symptoms such as:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Tremors
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Depression
That’s where medication-assisted treatment comes in. Incorporating certain medications into an opioid treatment program can help control cravings, relieve withdrawal symptoms, and reduce the chances of an overdose, making it easier for users to stay off opioids as they recover.
Our Approach to Substance Abuse Treatment
At Jovive Health, we prescribe buprenorphine/naloxone, an FDA-approved medication, to eligible opioid users over the age of 18. We also refer drug addiction program participants to the support services they require.
