Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Program
Breaking free from addiction is hard, but it’s not impossible. With the right support, lasting recovery is within reach. At Valley Hope, we use Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to help patients successfully manage early recovery, reduce relapse risk, and build long-term success.
MAT combines clinically proven medications with effective treatment, an approach that’s especially effective in treating addiction.
What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based treatment approach that combines FDA-approved medications with individual and group therapy to treat substance use disorders, including opioids and alcohol.
At Valley Hope, MAT is never a one-size-fits-all solution. We deliver personalized MAT plans within a full continuum of care that helps patients stabilize, reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and engage fully in long-term recovery.
All MAT medications at Valley Hope are administered under the supervision of licensed medical professionals and are tailored to each individual’s unique needs and substance history.
“Valley Hope gave me more than just a program, they gave me a plan and the tools to finally stay sober. MAT helped me quiet the cravings and focus on recovery.”
— Jason R., Valley Hope Alumni

Who Does Medication-Assisted Treatment Help?
Our team evaluates each patient individually to determine the most appropriate medications and therapy options, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments as needed. It is important to understand that MAT is not a replacement for recovery, it’s a tool for achieving it.
In addition to MAT, Valley Hope provides a complete continuum of effective addiction care that has been proven over more than five decades and hundreds of thousands of patients and families.
MAT may be right for Valley Hope patients who:

Have a co-occurring or dual diagnosis mental health issue (such as anxiety, depression, bi-polar disorder, PTSD)
Have experienced relapse after detox or previous treatment
Struggle with intense cravings or withdrawal symptoms
Want medical support while building recovery skills
Need a more gradual, supported transition into sobriety

Why Choose Valley Hope for MAT?
There are many false impressions and myths about Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) that create stigma and confusion. These misconceptions can be harmful, often discouraging individuals from starting treatment or rejecting a powerful recovery tool that could greatly improve their chances of long-term success.
At Valley Hope, we rely on medical science and clinical expertise when treating patients and we offer reassurance to those considering MAT as part of their healing journey.
Valley Hope’s MAT program is managed exclusively by licensed, experienced medical professionals, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and licensed clinicians who specialize in addiction medicine. Every patient who may benefit from MAT undergoes a thorough medical and psychological assessment to determine the safest and most effective plan of care.
Our team doesn’t simply prescribe medication, we build an individualized treatment plan that integrates MAT with therapy, peer support, and behavioral health care. Medications are only used when clinically appropriate, and always with careful, ongoing supervision.
Addiction is a medical condition. MAT is a medical tool for helping manage recovery.
