For individuals struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction, the road to recovery can feel like a constant battle against cravings and withdrawal. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Pawnee Nation Behavioral Health provides a research-backed path toward stability, using FDA-approved medications alongside therapy and support services to help individuals reclaim their lives.


What Is MAT?

MAT is an evidence-based treatment that combines the use of medications with counseling and recovery support to treat substance use disorders. These medications help reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms, allowing individuals to focus on healing, reconnecting with loved ones, and managing daily responsibilities without the constant pressure of addiction.


Every MAT plan is personalized. Our team works closely with each participant to evaluate their health, history, and goals before selecting the most appropriate medication and care plan. Whether you’re beginning recovery or continuing after previous treatment, MAT offers the stability needed for real progress.


What to Expect from MAT

Your treatment begins with a comprehensive medical and psychological evaluation. From there, you’ll work with your provider to choose a medication that best supports your recovery. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach—your medication plan can be adjusted as your needs evolve.


In addition to medication, MAT includes individual and group therapy, case management, and peer recovery support. These services address the emotional, behavioral, and social aspects of recovery, helping you build a strong, lasting foundation.
