Your provider will explain how MAT works, what to expect during treatment, and how harm reduction strategies can improve safety and long-term outcomes.

Mending Health Care focuses on education, prevention, recovery, and harm reduction for individuals and families affected by opioid use disorder.

How MAT Supports Long-Term Recovery Goals

Your MAT appointments in Riverside include medication prescribing, monitoring, and counseling to support your recovery. Your provider will prescribe medications that reduce cravings, prevent withdrawal symptoms, and block the effects of opioids. These medications are prescribed in combination with behavioral support to address the underlying causes of addiction and help you build a sustainable recovery plan.

After beginning MAT, you will notice reduced cravings, fewer withdrawal symptoms, and improved stability in your daily life. This allows you to focus on rebuilding relationships, maintaining employment, and addressing other health concerns that may have been neglected during active addiction.

Mending Health Care advocates for increased awareness and community education around opioid use disorder and partners with individuals, families, schools, and communities to reduce harm. Your provider will help you understand overdose prevention, treatment sustainability, and the importance of ongoing support. MAT is not a quick fix, but it provides the foundation for long-term recovery when combined with continued engagement and support.

Clients in Riverside often have concerns about stigma, privacy, and what medication assisted treatment actually involves before they reach out for help.
