The journey to healing doesn't follow a linear trajectory, and it varies from individual to individual

Built to Recover's Medication-Assisted Treatment, known as MAT*, integrates medication with counseling to support clients in their journey toward recovery. This approach facilitates a meaningful recovery process while ensuring accessible treatment for substance use disorder.

removing stigma

At Built to Recover, a central goal is to combat the stigma surrounding substance use disorder. Fundamental to any behavioral health program is fostering a welcoming, compassionate, and supportive atmosphere where individuals feel embraced, valued, heard, and supported. Alongside the warm, non-judgmental approach, the MAT team offers an array of services tailored to individual needs, including group and individual therapy, case management, and medication management.

A prevalent misunderstanding about MAT is that it merely swaps one drug for another. MAT medications, however, quell substance cravings without inducing a "high," thereby enhancing individuals' quality of life and functionality, leading to sustained recovery success.
