MAT helps people stay sober.
MAT, short for Medication-Assisted Therapy, is a powerful approach to help people in recovery from addiction. By combining counseling and medication, we can decrease risk of relapse and increase quality of life.
When we are able to help people address the underlying issues that perpetuate substance use, we give them a better chance of success.
Group Counseling
The group counseling half of MAT helps foster a non-judgmental and safe environment for growth and self reflection. Participants in our program will receive support from their peers who have similar experiences. We want people sharing their experience, strength, and hope with each other. Group participants will be able to learn from each other, gaining coping strategies that can help their recovery.
Medication Management
Rock Creek Therapy partners with prescribers, like Dr. Shana Gage, who specialize in addictions medicine. Your prescriber will work collaboratively with you to decide on what medications will best help your recovery.
MAT groups are instrumental in helping long-term recovery for people with substance use problems. Each person’s experience with addiction is unique. We work to develop a personalized plan that caters to each individual’s needs.
Any personal information submitted here will be kept confidential and will not be shared outside of Rock Creek Therapy. Someone will be following up with you soon to discuss the MAT Group.
Mondays starting in June from 5:30 PM to 6:45 PM ET
