Medication-assisted treatment at Eleanor

As part of our comprehensive, evidence-based treatment plan, Eleanor Health’s MAT program includes the use of FDA-approved medications with behavioral therapy and counseling. By combining medication and therapy, MAT treats both the physical and mental symptoms of addiction at the same time. Under the supervision of our physicians, our medical team will prescribe medications that safely block the effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain and body.
