Did you know...The BHU offers MAT! Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidenced based approach to treating substance use disorders. MAT combines FDA approved medications with harm reduction counseling and behavioral therapy. It provides a whole patient approach that addresses physical, psychological, and social aspects of addiction. MAT medications work by normalizing brain chemistry, blocking the euphoric effects of alcohol and opioids, and relieving physical cravings. These medications help individuals manage withdrawal symptoms and stabilize brain function, allowing them to focus on recovery and maintain their daily lives. The most important part is that we work with the patient to create a treatment plan to meet THEIR goals, and then help them achieve THEIR goals through support, education and therapy. Call the BHU in Allegany or Cattaraugus for more information.
