Medication Assisted Treatment
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) helps individuals overcome addiction to opiates by providing them with medication that eases withdrawal symptoms and cravings. MAT, together with counseling and other support, can help participants establish the stability they need to work, function in society, and achieve long-term recovery. Since 2007, HAS has partnered with NEXA, an area clinic, to offer MAT. In addition to providing medication, HAS NEXA also offers case management, referral, and group and individual counseling services.
