Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in San Rafael, CA

Safe, Effective, and Compassionate Addiction Recovery Support

At San Rafael Rehab, we believe in using every effective tool available to help individuals reclaim their lives from addiction. Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program combines FDA-approved medications with evidence-based therapy to support long-term recovery from opioid use disorder (OUD), alcohol use disorder (AUD), and other substance dependencies.

What is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

Medication-Assisted Treatment is a clinically proven approach to treating substance use disorders. It integrates prescription medications—such as Suboxone®, methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone—with behavioral counseling and supportive care. The goal is to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and stabilize individuals so they can fully engage in the recovery process.

Key benefits of MAT:

  • Reduces the risk of relapse and overdose

  • Improves retention in treatment programs

  • Supports long-term recovery and healing

  • Helps restore brain chemistry and balance

Who Can Benefit from MAT?

MAT is particularly effective for individuals struggling with:

  • Opioid addiction, including heroin and prescription painkillers

  • Alcohol addiction, especially when withdrawal symptoms are severe

  • Co-occurring mental health conditions that complicate withdrawal

At San Rafael Rehab, we assess each client individually to determine if MAT is the right course of action. Our goal is to create a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your health, history, and recovery goals.
