MAT: how medication and therapy beat addiction together

Addiction is a medical condition. Medication Assisted Treatment treats it like one.

September 15, 2026

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the evidence-based model that combines psychotherapy with psychopharmacology to treat substance use and addiction disorders. The medication quiets the physiological grip of addiction; structured support builds the skills and support for lasting recovery. Together, they work better than either alone.

At NGC, MAT begins with a comprehensive, confidential addiction evaluation with Dr. Chris. From there we build a plan: FDA-approved medications, integrated support, and relapse prevention — coordinated with BHRF and IOP programs where applicable.

If you or someone you love is ready to address addiction, the first step is one conversation. Call (602) 215-4902 — everything is confidential.
