What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
MAT can support the treatment of substance use disorders, combining the use of medications with behavioral therapies under medical supervision. This integrated approach addresses the specific challenges of addiction recovery and supports relapse prevention strategies. By combining medication with personalized therapy, MAT empowers individuals to achieve and maintain sobriety during and after treatment at Hawaii Island Recovery.
Our MAT Program Supports Lasting Change
Addiction recovery is a lifelong journey. It is normal to continue to experience personal challenges, urges, cravings, and more, whether you are just taking your first step into detox or continuing to navigate your sober life as a successful alumnus. MAT can play a role in your sustainable recovery journey, supporting lasting sober change and empowering you to create a fulfilling sober life after addiction.
Personalized Care
Not all medications are the same, and your journey to overcoming addiction or maintaining your sober lifestyle is unique. We are dedicated to developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses your needs, including any medications you may require.
Evidence-Based and Holistic Healing
We incorporate MAT alongside evidence-based treatment modalities and holistic healing opportunities for a truly comprehensive approach to recovery. Your journey includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), as well as experiential, holistic, and spiritual healing practices.
Healing on the Serene Island of Hawaii
Nature-based therapies, oceanic healing opportunities, and embracing the natural energy of Hawaii are blended into each program. We also champion the spirit of aloha that makes up the beautiful Hawaiian island, as well as the culture and community of Hawaii, to create a new and lasting change.
Develop Life Skills
We use medication to help you build on other skills in post-residential care. Critical thinking and decision-making, communication skills, mindfulness and self-awareness, and more are all part of effectively challenging and overcoming addiction of any kind.
Support for Families
Hawaii Island Recovery offers dedicated family therapy programs to help you and your loved ones address the effects of addiction together. These programs support healthy and supportive communication while providing education to families for continued healing and sustainable sobriety at home. Family therapy programs can also be necessary for exploring new levels of understanding, forgiveness, and gratitude for a unified approach to sober change.
Support for Veterans
Our dedicated veteran programs are designed to address the unique needs of veterans. MAT, coupled with trauma-informed treatment services and care for PTSD, can be a necessary step to helping veterans overcome the effects of drug and/or alcohol addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Medication-Assisted Treatment for Substance Abuse
Hawaii Island Recovery proudly offers MAT to support addiction and substance abuse treatment. Working with our on-site healthcare professionals will help you understand the benefits and opportunities of medication for your healing journey. However, our approach to MAT is unique, and we only turn to MAT to address challenges that persist after graduating from an inpatient program at our treatment center. Likewise, MAT is not always necessary to overcome these challenges, and we are always ready to work with you to find the combination of therapy, experiences, and holistic and transformative options to support your sustainable, sober change.
Evidence-Based Approach
From our effective residential care to ongoing behavioral health and outpatient support, we combine proven methods for healing and overcoming addiction with holistic healing options to give you the most effective approach to healing. Some of these evidence-based treatment options include:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
- Motivational interviewing
- Neurofeedback
These are in addition to our evidence-based approach to MAT for those who have graduated from residential treatment. However, your time with us is still personalized, blending evidence-based strategies and addiction medicine with personal goals, needs, and challenges to create a unique treatment plan for your success in recovery and sobriety.
Promotes Long-Term Sobriety
MAT can be crucial throughout any stage of your healing journey, being a key component in promoting effective abstinence and long-term sobriety. Using medication to manage urges and cravings in outpatient care as an alumnus can help prevent relapse. MAT can also empower you to be more invested in your recovery, with those using MAT staying committed to their recovery and increasing retention for longer periods. Hawaii Island Recovery uses MAT as a kind of continued support for specific cases, with regular follow-ups for local alumni every three months to evaluate the success and continued necessity of prescribing medication for alcohol and drug abuse.
Medication can help with specific symptoms that may otherwise make engaging in other meaningful treatments and therapies difficult. Using medication to address feelings of anxiety, depression, pain management, urges, cravings, and more can empower you to fully engage in therapy at Hawaii Island Recovery, build new relationships in treatment, and explore all that our treatment program has to offer on your transformational journey. These medications can also provide an additional layer of support while developing grounding strategies and relapse prevention techniques for a comprehensive way to manage your newfound sober life.
Supports Relapse Prevention
MAT can help mitigate the chances of relapse in your journey by providing directed support and managing urges and cravings, even as a successful alumnus. The use of medication to address mental health disorders can also be crucial in relapse prevention, aiding in managing emotions and preventing triggering feelings of anxiety, depression from affecting your hard-earned sobriety.
Maintaining Sober Change
Hawaii Island Recovery’s unique approach to MAT makes it a powerful and effective way to maintain sober change after graduating from one of our treatment programs. However, while MAT is not necessary for everybody, that doesn’t mean that we aren’t committed to your lasting sobriety. We work with you to explore your successful discharge and aftercare plan, whether you are staying local in Hawaii or returning to your hometown community.
While prescriptions administered for MAT may not transfer to your community outside of Hawaii, Hawaii Island Recovery’s effective discharge and relapse prevention plans can be just as effective for preventing relapse. We are also always a single call away to provide continued emotional support and professional care, regardless of the distance between you and the facility and our sober community.

Our Medications Used in MAT
At Hawaii Island Recovery, we recognize that the medications best suited to your individual situation will vary, and we are committed to working with you to explore your needs and goals to find the most effective medication for your sustainable path to sober healing.
While no medication can replace effective therapy, it can play a supportive role alongside your hard work in making meaningful changes. By combining the right medication with the guidance of our trained team, you will gain the support and resources necessary for a successful long-term recovery from addiction.
Using MAT for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)
MAT is most common in treating opioid dependence and opioid withdrawal, with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approving drugs like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone in opioid treatment programs.
Continued urges and cravings, coupled with many other mental and physical health needs, must be addressed for a truly effective recovery. However, some medications for opioid use disorder can help you address these challenges. Medications may include:
- Methadone
- Buprenorphine
- Naltrexone
MAT for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Various medications can also be used to support you through alcohol addiction treatment. Overcoming AUD is also a personal journey, with multiple medication options available.
- Naltrexone
- Disulfiram
- Acompostate
- Vivitrol

Who Benefits Most From MAT?
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is particularly beneficial for individuals with opioid use disorder. It is also effective for those with severe dependence, individuals who have relapsed after prior treatments, and those with co-occurring mental health disorders. MAT helps manage opiate cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Those who benefit most from MAT are those who are committed to their sober future, ready to put in the hard work to overcome their alcohol and/or drug use.
What is naltrexone?
Naltrexone can help block receptors in the brain tied to the euphoric effects of opioids. However, a trained professional is necessary to safely and effectively administer naltrexone, and Hawaii Island Recovery’s trained professionals are able to help you discuss and explore this potential option in your healing journey.
Is naloxone the same as naltrexone?
No, naloxone and naltrexone are not the same, though they are both opioid antagonists. Naloxone is primarily used as an emergency treatment for opioid overdoses, rapidly reversing the effects of opioids.
What is methadone?
Methadone is an extended-release opioid agonist that is used in the treatment of OUD, and can help manage urges and cravings for those successfully navigating their opioid addiction rehab, empowering you to focus on building grounding strategies and navigating the continued effects of the drug with additional support. These prescriptions can also help to address pain.
What is buprenorphine?
The Mental Health Services Administration recognizes buprenorphine as a commonly prescribed medication to help overcome OUD, with Suboxone being a common prescription. This medication also helps to address urges and cravings and is a medication that is taken daily to address these needs and goals for sustainable sobriety from opioids.
When should I see a healthcare provider?
It’s essential to seek professional help if you or a loved one is struggling with addiction and experiencing symptoms that interfere with everyday life. Early intervention is key to helping create lasting sobriety. Reaching out to a qualified treatment provider, such as Hawaii Island Recovery, can help you determine the best treatment plan for your needs.
