PHC’s MAT Program Combats Substance Abuse Disorders

by | Jul 31, 2023 | MAT, Newsletter

Are you or someone you love struggling with substance abuse? Addiction is a biological reaction that can happen to anyone, and Primary Health Care (PHC) offers a nationally-recognized program that is proven to help.

PHC’s Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) program uses FDA-approved medication in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a more complete approach to substance abuse disorders. The integrated, individualized care is the recommended course of treatment for opioid-use disorder by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. 

PHC’s MAT program is available at our Marshalltown, Ames, and West Side clinic locations. This confidential service can offer medication to reduce cravings and prevent withdrawal symptoms for people who have stopped misusing opioid drugs. Additionally, our MAT care team can provide options to treat addictions to alcohol, methamphetamines, marijuana, and cocaine. 

Recognizing the dangers, signs, and symptoms of substance abuse is the first step toward a healthier life. Scheduling an appointment with a PHC provider to learn more about our MAT program is the next. Visit https://phciowa.org/mat/ for more information.
