Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) has been a controversial topic when it comes to treating addiction in teenagers. While it can be an effective tool for some, it may not be the best option for every teen struggling with substance abuse.
It’s important to understand that MAT is just one aspect of a comprehensive treatment plan for addiction. It should never be seen as a standalone treatment, but rather as a part of a larger approach that includes therapy, support groups and other resources. Reach out to learn about our teen therapy.
