MAT is extremely beneficial in the successful treatment of opiate dependency.
Benefits of MAT
MAT is safe and legal and all medication is prescribed by a physician.
MAT reduces the risk of getting HIV, hepatitis B or C, and tuberculosis.
Patient’s lifestyle, family stability and employment are significantly improved.
Pregnant women receiving MAT have healthier babies than those who continue to use drugs.
MAT increases the rate of success and reduces the likelihood of relapse.
Methadone can truly save your life. If you're ready to change and stop the endless cycle of opioid abuse it will take away all the painstaking withdrawal away. My husband and I have been clean 2 years and we had our confidence, self worth and pride back after a long time of being ashamed and barely living. River Region will help you. We just got transferred to the Orange Park office and it fast, convenient and we're very happy with the service.
