Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in Oakhurst, NJ
MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy — the evidence-based standard of care for opioid and alcohol use disorders.
How MAT works at Aura
Physician-led evaluation determines whether medications like buprenorphine or naltrexone are appropriate for your recovery. Medication management is integrated directly with your IOP, Partial Care, or therapy programming — one team managing both.
MAT is treatment, not substitution
Decades of evidence show MAT reduces overdose deaths, improves treatment retention, and supports long-term recovery. At Aura, MAT is delivered without stigma, as part of a comprehensive medical and behavioral plan.
