Medication-Assisted Treatment in Colorado 

At BAART Brighton, we specialize in medication-assisted treatment with methadone and buprenorphine. In an MAT program, the patient takes medication that reduces their withdrawal symptoms and cravings for illicit opioids. The reduction of these difficult, often painful symptoms, helps to prevent relapse and encourage commitment to the program. MAT also involves one-on-one counseling that helps the patient understand their addiction and how to use healthier coping skills to deal with the difficulties of life in recovery. Patients with opioid use disorder can live safer and healthier lives in a medication-assisted treatment program.

All MAT medications provide the management of withdrawal symptoms, but at the correct dose, do not provide a “high” or feeling of euphoria. Patients work with a medical provider to determine the best medication for their needs and find a therapeutic dose of that medication. Once that dose has been reached, patients are more comfortable and able to focus on individual and group counseling with a BAART substance use counselor.

Methadone and buprenorphine MAT programs have a structured beginning that helps the patient stay committed to treatment. Daily visits to the Brighton methadone clinic help to build new, healthy routines and habits. As you progress in treatment from the stabilization to the maintenance phase, and adhere to all program policies as well as state and federal regulations, you are able to earn take home medication privileges.

Medication-assisted treatment utilizes therapy with an experienced counselor as an integral part of a comprehensive treatment program.
