Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) has become an integral part of addressing substance use disorders, providing individuals with medications to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. However, simply prescribing medications without accompanying counseling and therapeutic intervention may not address the underlying issues leading to substance use. This is why it is crucial to make counseling and therapeutic intervention mandatory for MAT funding.
By incorporating counseling and therapy into MAT programs, individuals can receive comprehensive care that addresses both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Counseling can help individuals explore the root causes of their substance use, develop coping skills, and create a support system to maintain their recovery. Ultimately, making counseling and therapeutic intervention mandatory for MAT funding can lead to more successful outcomes and long-term recovery for individuals struggling with substance use disorders.
