GenPsych’s Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) Programs in New Jersey: Full FAQ Inside

by | Jul 2, 2025 | Substance Use

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a proven, evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and support to help individuals safely and effectively recover from substance use disorders, particularly opioid addiction and other substance dependencies.

Substance use disorders can have devastating consequences on an individual’s physical and mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. However, with the right treatment approach, recovery is possible. At GenPsych, we offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as a crucial component of our comprehensive care for individuals struggling with addiction.

How MAT Works

MAT involves the use of medications to:

  • Reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms (e.g., buprenorphine, methadone)
  • Block the effects of opioids (e.g., naltrexone)
  • Normalize brain function and body chemistry
  • Support long-term recovery and sobriety

 

Common Medications Used in MAT

At GenPsych, our board-certified providers may prescribe medications such as:

  • Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) – reduces cravings and blocks opioids
  • Vivitrol (Naltrexone) – a monthly injection that prevents opioid and alcohol relapse
