What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?
Faith Recovery provides medication-assisted treatment Virginia residents can access through our ASAM Level 1.0 outpatient program. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medications, combined with clinical care and follow-up support, to treat substance use disorders — most commonly opioid and alcohol use disorders. MAT reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, stabilizes brain chemistry, and gives people the foundation they need to engage fully in recovery.
MAT is not a shortcut or a substitute for real recovery. It is one of the most evidence-based, clinically proven approaches available — and for many people, it is what makes lasting recovery possible.
Faith Recovery’s outpatient MAT program operates at ASAM Level 1.0, meaning you receive structured clinical care while continuing to live and work in your own community.
Why MAT Supports Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment helps patients stay engaged in recovery in several ways:
- Reduces painful withdrawal symptoms that often lead to relapse
- Lowers cravings, allowing individuals to concentrate better on therapy and making positive life changes
- Improves treatment retention and long-term outcomes compared to counseling alone
- Offers encouragement and optimism to those who have experienced relapse despite trying other treatment options

Faith Recovery essentially saved my life. As a life-long alcoholic I had exhausted every resource and burnt every bridge through my addiction. I tried every program imaginable. It was like the staff members at Faith Recovery already knew me before I walked through the door. They truly understand addiction and recovery.

Chris Whitfield
Life changing. Was given the opportunity to get my life back on track. I'm thrilled with my new relationship with the lord. I can't thank them enough. It wasn't easy but the result is worth it.
Brendan Fagan
It was a very easy process from start to finish to have our bed frame and mattress picked up and taken to the thrift store. The guys who came to do the pickup called ahead and were able to come a little earlier and they were very efficient and polite. Would definitely recommend and would definitely use again in the future.
