Description
Gateway offers medication assisted treatment (MAT) as part of a comprehensive substance use treatment program. MAT options include Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone).
Buprenorphine is used as a long-term treatment for opioid use disorder. It reduces withdrawal symptoms and blocks drug cravings. Naloxone prevents intentional misuse of burprenorphine by blocking the effects of the drug and causing immediate withdrawal when not used as directed. It must be taken daily.
Naltrexone is used to treat alcohol and/or opioid use disorder. It blocks the effects of alcohol and drugs and helps reduce drug cravings. It is given as a monthly injection.
