Our MAT Treatment Options
We provide several evidence-based medication options depending on clinical appropriateness and patient needs.
Our comprehensive MAT program includes medical oversight, individualized dosing, therapy integration, relapse prevention planning, and ongoing monitoring. Every patient receives a structured, personalized care plan based on ASAM and DSM-5 assessments.

Suboxone Treatment

Suboxone is a commonly prescribed medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone to help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms while lowering the risk of misuse. It is widely used as part of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder.

At Advene Health, Suboxone treatment includes medical evaluation, individualized dosing, and ongoing monitoring, combined with integrated behavioral health support to promote safe and sustainable recovery outcomes.

Buprenorphine Treatment

Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the same effects as full opioids. It plays a central role in many MAT programs. At Advene Health, buprenorphine treatment is carefully monitored and combined with therapy to support long-term recovery outcomes.

Sublocade Medication

Sublocade is a long-acting injectable form of buprenorphine administered monthly. It provides consistent medication levels and may improve adherence for individuals seeking a structured option.

Sublocade may be appropriate for patients who have stabilized on oral buprenorphine and prefer a monthly injection.

Brixadi Medication Treatment

Brixadi is an extended-release buprenorphine injection available in weekly or monthly dosing options. It offers flexible long-acting treatment for opioid use disorder.
