Online MAT: Recovery Without Barriers

Addiction is a complex disease, and recovery requires a comprehensive approach that addresses the physical and psychological aspects of substance use disorder. 

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based solution that combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and behavioral support to create a stable foundation for long-term recovery.

At Pathfinder Recovery, our 100% virtual and accessible online MAT program allows individuals to receive safe, supervised medication management while continuing to engage in therapy, counseling, and holistic treatments—all from the comfort of home.

Heal On Your Terms

What is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment for addiction is a structured approach to treating opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) using FDA-approved medications that help reduce withdrawal symptoms, curb cravings, and restore chemical balance in the brain.

At Pathfinder Recovery, we integrate addiction medication management with virtual therapy and peer support, ensuring that individuals receive a well-rounded recovery experience that fosters physical healing and long-term emotional resilience.

Some medications we utilize in medication-assisted treatment recovery include:

Common MAT Medications
Used in Recovery

Buprenorphine (Suboxone)

This is a partial opioid agonist that helps individuals transition off stronger opioids by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing a full opioid effect. 

Suboxone contains both buprenorphine and naloxone, which discourages misuse by preventing the euphoric effects if taken improperly. This medication allows individuals to focus on therapy, rebuild their lives, and stabilize their recovery without the disruptive effects of withdrawal.

Methadone

Methadone is a long-acting full opioid agonist that stabilizes withdrawal symptoms, minimizes cravings, and provides lasting relief for individuals recovering from opioid addiction. 

Methadone has been used for decades as a gold-standard treatment for opioid use disorder. It is especially helpful for individuals with long-term opioid dependence who require structured, medically supervised care.

When taken as prescribed during MAT recovery, methadone allows individuals to function normally without experiencing withdrawal or drug-seeking behaviors.

Naltrexone (Vivitrol)

This non-addictive opioid antagonist blocks the euphoric effects of opioids and alcohol, reducing the likelihood of relapse.

Unlike other MAT options, naltrexone does not activate opioid receptors, making it an excellent option for those who have already completed detox and want to prevent future cravings and relapse.

Administered as a monthly injection or daily tablet, it serves as an essential tool for many during their journey towards maintaining sobriety.

Acamprosate (Campral) & Disulfiram (Antabuse)

These are two effective medications used in the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD).

Acamprosate helps restore the neurochemical balance in the brain, reducing post-acute withdrawal symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia. Disulfiram creates an unpleasant reaction to alcohol, discouraging drinking by causing nausea, flushing, and discomfort when alcohol is consumed. 

These medications help individuals in alcohol recovery maintain abstinence and regain control over their health and lifestyle.

By combining medication with behavioral therapy, virtual peer coaching, and mental healthcare, we offer a comprehensive, integrated approach to online addiction treatment.

How MAT Supports Recovery

Medication-assisted treatments are not about replacing one substance with another – they're about stabilizing brain chemistry, managing withdrawal symptoms, and creating a clear path toward sobriety and lasting recovery.
Here’s how addiction medication management supports healing:

Reduces Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal symptoms can be physically painful and mentally exhausting, making it difficult to focus on recovery. MAT helps ease the intensity of withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, body aches, chills, and insomnia, making the detox process more comfortable and manageable. 

By reducing these distressing effects, individuals are less likely to relapse early in the recovery process.

Lowers Risk of Relapse

One of the biggest challenges in recovery is managing cravings and avoiding relapse triggers. MAT medications help stabilize brain chemistry, reduce urges, and create a buffer against high-risk situations.

When cravings are controlled, individuals can fully engage in therapy, develop coping strategies, and rebuild a sober lifestyle with greater confidence and focus.

Supports Mental Health Stability

Many individuals in addiction recovery also struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Online MAT helps restore neurochemical balance in the brain, improving mood, emotional regulation, and better cognitive function.

By reducing anxiety and depression symptoms, individuals can focus on therapy, relationships, and personal growth without the added burden of unmanaged mental health challenges.

Improves Retention in Treatment

Individuals who receive MAT are more likely to remain in treatment programs, complete their recovery plans, and sustain long-term sobriety. The longer a person stays engaged in structured recovery programs, therapy, and peer support, the higher their chances of achieving lasting recovery success.

At Pathfinder Recovery, we tailor MAT recovery plans to fit each individual’s unique needs, ensuring a personalized, structured approach to healing.
