How We Can Help:  Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol use disorder is a treatment approach that combines the use of medication with psycho-social support. The goal of MAT is to help individuals with Alcohol Use Disorder reduce their alcohol consumption, decrease cravings, and improve their overall health and quality of life.  MAT for Alcohol Use Disorder typically involves the use of medications that can help to reduce cravings and psycho-social support.


Outpatient MAT for alcohol use disorder involves receiving treatment on a regular basis while continuing to live at home. This may include weekly visits to our office to receive medication and counseling, as well as participation in support groups or other forms of therapy.
