If you or someone you care about is struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction in Manhattan or anywhere across New York City, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) offers a safe, evidence-based path toward recovery. At Spring Hill Wellness, we combine FDA-approved medications with compassionate counseling to help clients stabilize their health, rebuild daily routines, and regain confidence.
Medication-Assisted Treatment is an evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. The goal isn’t to replace one substance with another — it’s to help the brain heal so recovery feels possible again.
MAT has been recognized by organizations like SAMHSA and the American Society of Addiction Medicine as one of the most effective treatments for opioid and alcohol addiction. It addresses both the physical cravings and the psychological triggers that keep addiction alive.
At Spring Hill Wellness, MAT is more than a prescription. It’s a partnership between our medical team, licensed therapists, and you — tailored to your specific history, health needs, and recovery goals.
Every recovery journey begins with a comprehensive clinical assessment. Our team reviews medical history, substance use patterns, and any co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, or PTSD. Once that’s complete, we design a person-centered treatment plan that typically includes:
MAT isn’t a “quick fix.” It’s a structured recovery system supported by both medical science and human connection — something especially valuable in the fast-paced environment of New York City.

Medication-Assisted Treatment is an effective option for individuals recovering from opioid use disorder or alcohol use disorder. Under medical supervision, FDA-approved medications are combined with counseling and behavioral therapies to increase the chances of sustained recovery and reduce the risk of opioid overdose.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) often includes FDA-approved medications such as Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, and Methadone. These medications work by stabilizing brain chemistry, which helps reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery efforts.

MAT isn’t a “quick fix.” It’s a structured recovery system supported by both medical science and human connection — something especially valuable in the fast-paced environment of New York City.
Living in Manhattan often means juggling high stress, long commutes, and limited personal time — factors that can contribute to substance use or make recovery difficult to sustain. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) helps ease that struggle by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, allowing clients to focus on therapy, work, and personal goals.
It also promotes emotional stability by restoring brain chemistry that’s been disrupted by addiction and significantly lowers the risk of relapse, particularly in early recovery. For many New Yorkers, MAT supports independent living and long-term recovery while fitting seamlessly into outpatient programs that accommodate busy city schedules. With MAT, recovery isn’t about stepping away from life — it’s about reclaiming it.
We use a combination of safe, clinically approved medications that are individually prescribed and monitored:
Reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the euphoric effects of opioids. Often the first-line option for opioid use disorder.
A long-acting medication that stabilizes brain chemistry. It’s ideal for patients who need structured daily support and careful dose adjustments.
Blocks the euphoric and sedative effects of alcohol and opioids. Used after detox to prevent relapse.
These medications are always combined with behavioral therapies, medical supervision, and peer support groups to ensure lasting recovery.
Many people hesitate to start MAT because of misconceptions:
“Isn’t MAT just replacing one addiction with another?”
No. MAT uses controlled doses of medication to normalize brain function. It doesn’t create a high or promote dependency when taken properly.
“You’re not really sober if you’re on MAT.”
Recovery is not defined by abstinence alone — it’s about reclaiming control of your health and your life. MAT helps you do that safely.
“MAT is only for opioids.”
While MAT is most commonly used for opioid addiction, it’s also highly effective in treating alcohol use disorder and other substance dependencies.
By removing the stigma around MAT, more people can access care that works — especially here in New York, where stress, accessibility, and cultural stigma can complicate recovery.
According to SAMHSA, MAT can cut the risk of opioid overdose deaths by up to 50%. It’s also proven to improve employment outcomes, treatment retention, and family stability.
In New York State, programs supported by Governor Hochul’s Office and the Northeast Public Health Collaborative have shown consistent success in reducing relapse rates. At Spring Hill Wellness, our clients who commit to both medication and therapy often report stronger confidence, better emotional control, and healthier relationships within the first 90 days.MAT isn’t just effective — it’s transformative.
