Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Begin your recovery today

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines medication and counseling to help people stop using opioid pain medications and/or heroin. MAT uses a medication called buprenorphine or Suboxone® that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms.  If you think MAT may be a good choice for you, call (704) 316-6561 today to schedule your first appointment. 

Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is an evidence-based treatment that combines medication with supportive care to help people who use opioids, including prescription pain medications and heroin. Medications such as buprenorphine (Suboxone®) can reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms and support your individual recovery goals.

Our team will work with you to understand your needs, discuss your treatment options, and develop a plan that works for you.

If you are interested in learning whether MOUD may be right for you, call (704) 316-6561 to get started.

Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) may be helpful for adults (18+) who are using opioids—including prescription opioid medications, heroin, or fentanyl—and want support with their use or recovery.

MOUD can help reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, lower the risk of overdose, and support your individual treatment and recovery goals.

If you are concerned about alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, or other substance use, we can help with that too. While medications used for MOUD specifically treat opioid use disorder, our behavioral health team can provide support, counseling, and connections to additional treatment and resources based on your needs.

CCHC accepts most private insurance plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid. If you do not have insurance or are concerned about the cost of treatment or medication, we encourage you to reach out. Sliding-scale fees and other financial assistance options may be available depending on eligibility and available resources.

Don’t let concerns about cost keep you from reaching out. Our team can help you understand your options and what your individual cost may be.

Call (704) 316-6561 for more information.

Yes. Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is available during pregnancy and can support the health of both the pregnant person and their baby.

CCHC does not provide MOUD treatment during pregnancy directly. Our team can help connect you with an OB/GYN or Maternal-Fetal Medicine provider who can provide specialized care and discuss the safest treatment options for you during pregnancy.

If you are pregnant and using opioids or currently receiving MOUD, please reach out. We can help connect you with the care and support you need.

There is no set amount of time you need to take medication for opioid use disorder. Some people use medication for a shorter period, while others continue treatment for many years or even for life.

It is safe and appropriate to stay on medications such as buprenorphine (Suboxone®) long-term when they are working well for you. There is no requirement to eventually stop the medication.

You and your healthcare provider will decide together how long treatment is right for you based on your health, needs, and recovery goals. If you ever decide you would like to reduce or stop your medication, your provider can help you develop a safe, gradual plan.

If you’re interested in Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), call (704) 316-6561 to schedule an appointment with one of our medical providers. Your provider will talk with you about your needs, answer your questions, and work with you to determine which treatment options may be right for you.
