What is Medication-Assisted Treatment at APN?
Medication-assisted treatment combines targeted, FDA-approved medications with comprehensive therapy and whole-person support to address substance use disorders, especially opioid and alcohol use disorders, more effectively than therapy alone.
We use clinically appropriate medications such as:
- Buprenorphine, including Suboxone formulations
- Methadone (when indicated)
- Naltrexone
These medications reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and block the euphoric effects of substances. By stabilizing your brain chemistry, they allow you to actively participate in therapy, process trauma, and rebuild your life.
Of course, MAT is not the end goal, but it can be part of the bridge that gets you there. Research shows it increases treatment retention, reduces risk of relapse, and improves overall outcomes.
When combined with evidence-based therapies–including CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, family therapy, and holistic interventions–and supported by our expert care team, MAT becomes part of a personalized plan that helps you move beyond abstinence to genuine well-being.

Detox & Withdrawal Management
If you are just beginning your recovery journey, medically supervised detox is often the first step. Our programs in Denver and Dallas–Fort Worth provide detox with:
24/7 medical supervision for safe withdrawal
Individualized MAT protocols to manage cravings and symptoms comfortably
Emotional and clinical support throughout the process
Typical stays range from 3 to 10 days, with an average of 5 days. From here, many clients transition to higher levels of care, already stabilized and supported for lasting recovery.
Keep Progressing With Residential, IOP, or Virtual Care
MAT is not a one-time intervention. It continues as needed throughout your recovery journey. Whether you participate in:
Residential treatment or Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP)
Virtual Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) via the APN Connection app
Outpatient therapy or dual diagnosis programs
Your MAT is coordinated with the same clinical team to ensure your progress stays steady, consistent, and personalized.
Telehealth Care Designed for Your Lifestyle
At All Points North, you can access therapy and psychiatry sessions online, participate in nearly 30 virtual therapy and support groups, join intensive outpatient programs, and include your family in online sessions. All virtual care is delivered securely through our HIPAA-compliant APN Connection app.

- Sleep disturbances or mood instability
- Emotional dysregulation and high stress
Our dual diagnosis approach addresses substance use and mental health together, reducing the risk of relapse and supporting lasting stability and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the potential side effects of medications used in MAT?
Medications used in MAT, such as buprenorphine, methadone, and naltrexone, can have side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, constipation, headaches, and fatigue. We will monitor your response to the medication and adjust your treatment plan as necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness.
How long does the MAT process typically last?
The duration of MAT varies significantly based on individual needs and circumstances. Some individuals may require MAT for several weeks, while others may benefit from longer-term support that can last for years.
The treatment plan is tailored to each person, considering factors like the severity of addiction, co-occurring mental health issues, and personal recovery goals. Regular evaluations will help determine the appropriate length of treatment for your unique situation.
Can MAT be combined with other therapies?
Yes, MAT is designed to be integrated with various therapeutic approaches. Combining MAT with evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and holistic interventions enhances the overall effectiveness of treatment.
This integrated approach addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction, providing a comprehensive support system that promotes lasting recovery and personal growth.
Is MAT effective for every substance use disorder?
MAT is particularly effective for opioid and alcohol use disorders. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on the type of substance.
While MAT may not always be the primary treatment for everyone managing substance use disorders, it can still serve as a valuable support within a comprehensive treatment plan.
Each case is unique, and a thorough clinical evaluation is essential to determine the best treatment options for each individual.
What role does family involvement play in MAT?
Family involvement can be a crucial component of MAT. Engaging family members in the recovery process can provide additional support, enhance communication, and foster a healthier home environment.
Family therapy sessions can help address underlying issues, improve relationships, and create a supportive network for the individual in recovery.
At All Points North, we encourage family participation in therapy to strengthen the recovery journey and promote lasting change.
How does telehealth fit into the MAT process?
Telehealth is an integral part of the treatment process at APN. It allows clients to access therapy and psychiatric services remotely, making treatment more convenient and accessible.
Through secure, HIPAA-compliant platforms, clients can participate in virtual therapy sessions, support groups, and follow-up appointments. This flexibility helps individuals maintain their treatment plans while balancing personal and professional commitments, ensuring continuous support throughout their recovery journey.
