Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) VS Medication Assisted Detox

Detox is an intense part of the addiction treatment process that usually happens at the start of the process.

‍

Once patients have completed detox, whether medically assisted or not, they are through the worst of the process, but that does not mean they are no longer addicted.

‍

Medically assisted treatment helps patients who have completed detox to continue their recovery slowly and gradually. This allows them to focus on mental and emotional recovery as well as breaking their physical addiction.
