Substance abuse can affect every part of your life, from physical and mental health to work, relationships, and daily stability. At Camelback Integrated Health and Wellness, we provide medication assisted treatment in Phoenix, AZ, for people struggling with substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder.

A common misconception is that medication assisted treatment replaces one drug with another. In reality, MAT uses FDA-approved medications alongside behavioral therapy, counseling, and ongoing clinical support to help reduce cravings, manage withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery. Major health authorities clinically validate this integrated method as a primary path to recovery and serve as a foundational pillar of care for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

Medication Treatment Information

A common question or concern about MAT therapy is how a medication can help to recover from addictions to other, harmful medications. We use FDA-approved medications in safe doses that actually work to target the receptors in your brain that experience pleasure from drugs and alcohol. In doing so, Camelback Medication Assisted Therapy Phoenix is able to weaken the perceived benefits of drug and alcohol use, which ultimately lessens the cravings and the effects of the substances themselves. Our expert team works with you to manage your personalized medication assisted treatment program to monitor progress and help you through every step of your MAT recovery.

Medication Assisted Treatment is a new way of treating people who struggle with addiction and struggle to let themselves feel their emotions. With Camelback Medication Assisted Therapy Phoenix, we are able to create a medication assisted treatment program that is tailored to each individual in order to help you achieve your recovery goals. MAT therapy and recovery are helpful for those who struggle from opioid and prescription pain medication addiction, as well as alcoholism. The medications used during MAT therapy have the ability to help in reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms. This helps you put more energy and focus on recovery, leading you to freedom from substance abuse.

Camelback Medication Assisted Therapy Phoenix has developed a program that includes counseling and behavioral therapy in addition to the medication itself. Camelback has always believed in a whole-person treatment option that not only targets whatever it is you may be challenged with, but to work on all aspects of your life to cultivate overall wellness. Counseling and behavioral therapy is an integral part of MAT therapy, as it addresses psychological and social aspects of addiction, while helping individuals to develop coping mechanisms and create positive behavioral changes.

Is medication therapy for you? You can see if you qualify at Camelback by visiting our office to meet with a healthcare professional who will begin with an assessment to help determine if you are someone who can benefit from MAT therapy and recovery. Assessments typically include:

  • Diagnosing patients with a substance abuse disorder (opioid or alcohol addiction)
  • Medical evaluation (checking on overall health and going over medical history)
  • Readiness and motivation (strong motivation is crucial for success in adhering to treatment regimen and keeping up with counseling sessions)

Camelback Medication Assisted Therapy Phoenix may not be for everyone, which is why we make sure to conduct thorough evaluations of our patients to make sure that this is a safe treatment option. Based on medical history and other important factors, we are able to guide you on your path to freedom from substance abuse. If you or someone you know suffers from opioid or alcohol addiction, MAT therapy and recovery can make a world of difference. While the treatment is relatively new, it has the potential to be highly successful if you are determined to work toward a brighter future without a substance abuse disorder.
