About the MAT Team
The Lamoille Health MAT Team offers discreet, compassionate care and the tools needed to begin and maintain a life in recovery.
MAT programs employ medications to treat opioid use disorder that reduce withdrawal symptoms, allowing patients to focus on their personalized treatment plan, which includes counseling, medical care, and case management. In addition to opioids, the MAT Team also helps people struggling with alcohol and other drugs.

Medications
Medications used in MAT are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), with MAT programs tailored to meet each patient’s needs. Such medications include:
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone, Subutex) – reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms
- Naloxone (Narcan, Evzio) – used as rescue medication for an overdose but is also combined with buprenorphine to reduce the risks of relapse
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol) – helps reduce cravings and block the effects of alcohol and opioids
