Our goal is to help you, a loved one or a friend break the bonds of addiction to allow living free of opiates. The MAT program has been introduced across the country and is receiving positive reviews for its ability to transition people away from the darkness associated with the downward spiral of addiction.
Our team of psychiatric and clinical specialists is highly trained in the treatment options available through the MAT program. Each participant is evaluated at the beginning of the program to determine the level of treatment necessary and the duration of treatment required. You will be taken through stages of recovery while under the supervision of a team member who is at the ready 24/7 to assist you.
In addition to the clinical treatments, each participant in the Hope MAT program is assigned a case manager to help with many of the needs addiction removes from one’s life, including job training and placement, housing issues, education opportunities, and many others.
If you, a loved one, or a friend has fallen into addiction, we are here to help. Addiction is a disease, and we are not sitting in judgment for your situation. We are here to help. Please contact Hope MAT today and make the first step toward recovery.
To save lives by ensuring individuals with opioid use disorder have access to medication assisted treatment in conjunction with comprehensive, evidence-based psychosocial and recovery support services.
SOME FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR MAT PROGRAM
Through proper screening, we accept patients who are actively using opioids and want to get off of them. Siyan Clinical can assist with minimizing those withdrawal symptoms as well as continue maintenance treatment for those patients already on MAT.
Buprenorphine works by knocking other opioids in the brain off their receptors and binding tightly to the same receptors, so that other opioids cannot occupy them. Buprenorphine prevents withdrawal symptoms and reduces drug cravings.
There are alternative treatment options available at Siyan for patients who are allergic to Naloxone.
Siyan clinical provides a full psychiatric assessment to determine a diagnosis of OUD.
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery.
Opioid withdrawal develops after the body has become accustomed to a certain level of opioids. Source: https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/
Symptoms of opioid withdrawal include anxiety, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. While symptoms can be severe, they aren't life-threatening. Source: https://www.hhs.gov/opioids/

Opiates are labeled “natural”, because nature creates the active ingredient molecules. Common opiates include opium, morphine and codeine, both made directly from poppy plants. An opioid is a substance (molecule) that is synthetic or partly synthetic. This means the active ingredients are created chemically.

The FDA has approved several different medications to treat alcohol and opioid use disorders. MAT medications relieve the withdrawal symptoms and psychological cravings that cause chemical imbalances in the body. Medications used for MAT are evidence-based treatment options and do not just substitute one drug for another.

For most people in recovery, the use of MAT meds is temporary. Use of the drug will eventually be tapered to make way for total sobriety. This process should be done in a slow and measured way, allowing for plateaus to accommodate the individual’s experience and stability along the way.

Rockville, MD: Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2009. Keep in mind that addiction is a chronic disease just like asthma or cancer are chronic diseases, and it can require medication in much the same way. The likelihood of becoming addicted to the medicine used during this type of therapy is greatly reduced under the watchful eye of a doctor. Couple this supervision with the other aspects of MAT – counseling and therapy – and that likelihood is reduced even further. Source: Geisinger (2017, April 11).

Methadone and buprenorphine, when administered at the appropriate dose, ‘occupy’ the brain receptor sites affected by heroin and other opioids. As a result, they suppress withdrawal symptoms, block the euphoric and sedating effects of opioids, and relieve the craving for opioids that is a major factor in relapse. With stable dosing and in the absence of other medications that may produce euphoria or sedation, these medications do not cause euphoria or intoxication, thus allowing a person to lead a normal life. The appropriate dose is determined by a certified health care professional in conjunction with the patient and is calibrated to the individual’s medical and physiological needs.

It is illegal to discriminate against people because they are in MAT. Federal civil rights laws protect qualified ‘individuals with disabilities’ from discrimination in many areas of life. People in recovery from drug addiction – including those in MAT – generally are protected from discrimination by the following statutes:
Abstinence and membership are not synonymous terms. Membership is based on a desire to stop using, not abstinence itself. Our program of recovery begins with abstinence from all drugs, including alcohol. Sometimes people come to NA meetings while still using drugs, detoxing from drugs, or on drug replacement therapy. Regardless of what you may be taking when you first come to NA, you are welcome. Some NA meetings make no distinction as to whether those receiving medication to treat addiction may share in a meeting, while other NA meetings limit the participation of those who are taking this type of medication. Each group is free to make its own decision on recovery meeting participation and involvement in group services for those receiving medication assistance for drug addiction.
