Medication assisted therapy kind of bridges that biological and psychological component of addiction. It takes away a lot of shame and guilt.
Imagine a world where managing addiction doesn't feel like an uphill battle. In this episode of 'Healthy Mind Matters', host Maria Shilaos dives into the evolving landscape of medical assisted treatment (MAT) with licensed social workers Nancy Moss and Brett Bartruff from Davis Behavioral Health. The conversation kicks off by debunking common myths, such as the notion that MAT is simply swapping one addiction for another.
Instead, Moss and Bartruff illuminate how MAT serves as a crucial tool in addiction management, addressing both the biological and psychological facets of substance use disorders. By reducing feelings of shame and guilt, MAT offers a more compassionate approach to recovery. The episode doesn't stop there; it goes on to compare different medications like suboxone and methadone, highlighting their unique benefits. You'll also hear about Vivitrol's effectiveness in treating alcohol use disorder, providing hope for those struggling with alcohol dependency.
If you've ever wondered about the long-term benefits of medication assisted therapy or the importance of seeking professional help, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the transformative potential of medical assisted treatment.
