Our Comprehensive Approach to MAT

At Agua Dulce Treatment Center, our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program follows a four-pronged approach that integrates medication management, therapy, holistic wellness, and continuous progress monitoring. By tailoring treatment to each client’s specific needs, we ensure a comprehensive recovery plan that promotes long-term stability and well-being.

Take The First Step

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

MAT often supports clients who also experience co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Our dual diagnosis program treats both conditions simultaneously, ensuring a more effective recovery.

Medication Management

We utilize FDA-approved medications, such as methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, to help manage withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. These medications are administered under strict medical supervision to ensure safety and efficacy.

Therapy and Counseling

MAT is enhanced with individualized therapy and group counseling, allowing clients to explore the psychological aspects of their addiction, identify triggers, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.

Holistic Wellness

We integrate therapies like yoga, mindfulness, and wellness activities to promote emotional and physical well-being, ensuring that clients heal holistically.
