Details: The Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) at MAAS offers treatment for opioid addiction, including the use of both methadone and buprenorphine. The MAAS MAT program utilizes a combination of medication and psychotherapeutic clinical treatment interventions aimed toward building a foundation upon which long term recovery can take place. Individuals entering this level of care meet criteria for methadone maintenance or buprenorphine maintenance. A shorter term taper is available through the ambulatory detoxification unit, if deemed appropriate. MAAS targets inner city and traditionally under-served populations, including but not limited to Latinos and African Americans. Treatment intensity varies based on patient need while the clinic models a “stages of change†approach to opioid treatment. All culturally relevant services are offered in English and Spanish. MAAS offers on-site babysitting to adults with dependant, under school-age children.
