MAT/MOUD

Medication Assisted Treatment/Medication for Opioid Use Disorder

At Primary Health Care (PHC), we understand that seeking help for substance use disorders is a courageous step. Our Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program, also referred to as (MOUD), offers compassionate, comprehensive support to individuals and families confronting challenges related to alcohol, opioids, or other substances.

What Is MAT/MOUD?

MAT/MOUD combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to address substance use disorders holistically. This integrated approach not only alleviates withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings but also empowers individuals to rebuild their lives with confidence and support.

Our Approach: Personalized and Supportive

At PHC, we tailor our MAT/MOUD services to meet your unique needs, ensuring you receive the highest quality care on your journey to recovery. Our process includes:

Comprehensive Assessment: We conduct a thorough health evaluation to understand your specific situation and identify any co-occurring disorders.
Education: Our providers offer clear information about MAT/MOUD, helping you make informed decisions about your treatment options.
Ongoing Monitoring: We regularly monitor your health and progress, adjusting your individualized treatment plan as needed to support your recovery.
Integrated Care: Your MAT/MOUD services are coordinated alongside your primary health care, ensuring seamless support within a family practice setting.
Customized Treatment Plans: We develop a comprehensive program that may include medication and referrals to substance use or behavioral health centers, all tailored to your personal journey.
