Learning that their concerns are common and being able to resolve some of that ambivalence does make a difference in terms of how they view the role of MAT in their recovery.
Why do some patients hesitate to start medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction, even when it could save their lives? In this episode, Dr. Ashley Braun-Gabelman dives into the complexities of patient resistance and explores effective strategies to overcome it. As a clinical psychologist specializing in addiction recovery at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Dr. Braun-Gabelman brings a wealth of experience and empathy to the discussion.
She emphasizes the importance of addressing both spoken and unspoken fears that patients may have about MAT. The conversation also highlights the role of group therapy in fostering a supportive community and how involving patients in the decision-making process can make a significant difference. If you're a healthcare provider looking to enhance your approach to addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice on guiding patients through their recovery journey.
