Understanding Medication Assisted Treatment: Answers to Common Questions

Medication-assisted treatment drugs make it possible to help people to stay alive and out of harm's way.
Ever wondered what Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) really involves? Dr. Mark Leeds takes you on an informative journey through the ins and outs of MAT in this episode. Whether you're dealing with opioid, alcohol, or tobacco addiction, MAT could be a game-changer. Dr. Leeds clarifies common misconceptions, such as the difference between physical dependence and addiction. Spoiler: they're not the same thing!
He also explains how medications like Suboxone and Methadone work to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, helping people stay on track with their recovery. But it's not just about opioids—MAT can also be effective for alcohol and tobacco use disorders. For instance, the Sinclair Method uses naltrexone to reduce alcohol cravings, offering a new approach to treating alcohol dependence.
If you're curious about how MAT can fit into your recovery journey or that of a loved one, this episode is packed with valuable insights. Dr. Leeds' empathetic approach and extensive experience make this a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of addiction recovery.
