What is Medication-Assisted Treatment in NYC?

Medication-assisted treatment in NYC refers to the use of approved medications alongside therapy and counseling to treat substance use disorders, particularly opioid addiction. This approach recognizes that addiction is both a medical and behavioral health condition.

MAT works by stabilizing brain chemistry and reducing withdrawal symptoms so individuals can focus on recovery.1 Instead of battling constant cravings or painful withdrawal, clients can engage more fully in counseling, therapy, and daily responsibilities. Medication-assisted treatment typically includes:

  • FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), Sublocade, or Vivitrol.
  • Behavioral health counseling, such as individual and group therapy
  • Psychiatric medication management when appropriate

 

When combined, these services provide a structured, medically supported recovery approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of addiction.

What To Look Out For

How MAT Supports Long-Term Recovery

Addiction affects the brain’s reward and stress systems.2 Without medical support, withdrawal symptoms and cravings can become major barriers to recovery. Medication-assisted treatment helps stabilize these systems, allowing clients to focus on building healthier habits and coping strategies. MAT may help individuals:

  • Reduce or eliminate opioid or alcohol cravings
  • Manage withdrawal symptoms safely
  • Lower the risk of relapse
  • Improve daily functioning
  • Participate fully in therapy and recovery planning

 

Because MAT addresses the biological aspects of addiction, it often allows people to regain stability while continuing work, family responsibilities, and other daily activities.

Medications Used in Medication-Assisted Treatment

Medication-assisted treatment can involve different medications depending on an individual’s needs and recovery goals. Two of the most commonly used medications in MAT programs are methadone and buprenorphine.

Methadone

Methadone is a long-acting medication that helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opioids. When used under medical supervision, it stabilizes the body without producing the same euphoric effects as illicit opioids.3 Methadone treatment has been used for decades and remains one of the most researched and effective treatments for opioid addiction.

Suboxone (Buprenorphine)

Suboxone contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms while lowering the risk of misuse.4 It allows many individuals to stabilize quickly and continue recovery in an outpatient setting.

Sublocade

Sublocade is a monthly injection that contains buprenorphine, providing consistent medication support over time.5 Instead of taking a daily medication, clients receive an extended-release injection that gradually releases medication throughout the month.

This option can help reduce the stress of daily dosing while supporting stability and recovery. It may also reduce the risk of missed doses and help individuals focus more fully on therapy and rebuilding daily routines.

Vivitrol (Naltrexone)

Vivitrol is a non-opioid medication given as a monthly injection. It works by blocking the effects of opioids in the brain, which can help prevent relapse if someone uses opioids while in treatment.6

Because Vivitrol is not an opioid medication, it does not produce withdrawal relief or opioid-like effects. Instead, it helps support recovery by reducing the potential reward associated with opioid use. Vivitrol may also be used to support recovery from alcohol use disorder for some individuals.

Outpatient MAT Programs Designed for Real Life

Many people seeking treatment are balancing work, family responsibilities, and daily obligations. That is why medication-assisted treatment in NYC is often offered through outpatient programs that allow individuals to receive care while continuing their normal routines. Victory Recovery Partners provides flexible treatment options, including:

Intensive outpatient program (IOP)

Our intensive outpatient program offers structured therapy sessions several days per week, with clients returning home afterward. IOP can be a strong option for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient care.

Outpatient treatment

Outpatient treatment offers continued access to therapy, medication management, and counseling while allowing clients to maintain employment, education, and family responsibilities. This approach helps many people build recovery skills while staying connected to their daily lives.
