If you are looking for medication-assisted treatment in Staten Island, look no further than Grand Union Holistic Solutions, offering the latest evidence-based advancements in addiction medicine.
At Grand Union Holistic Solutions, our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) in Staten Island, New York City provides a safe, evidence-based approach that combines FDA-approved medications with therapy and holistic care—helping individuals stabilize, heal, and build a foundation for long-term recovery.
We understand that addiction is a complex medical condition, not a moral failing. MAT is designed to treat both the physical and psychological aspects of substance use disorders, offering relief from cravings and withdrawal symptoms while allowing individuals to focus on the deeper work of recovery.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a clinically proven approach to treating substance use disorders—particularly opioid and alcohol addiction—by combining medications with behavioral therapy and counseling. This comprehensive method helps normalize brain function, reduce cravings, prevent relapse, and improve overall stability during recovery.
MAT is not about replacing one substance with another. Instead, it is a carefully monitored medical treatment that uses specific medications to support recovery while individuals actively engage in therapy and lifestyle changes. Research consistently shows that MAT can significantly improve treatment outcomes, increase retention in programs, and reduce the risk of overdose.
At Grand Union Holistic Solutions, MAT is always delivered as part of a broader, personalized treatment plan that addresses the whole person—not just the symptoms of addiction.
Request a confidential assessment, verify your insurance benefits, and schedule your intake appointment — treatment designed to keep things simple and consistent.
One of the biggest barriers to recovery is the intense discomfort that can come with withdrawal and cravings. For individuals struggling with opioids or alcohol, these symptoms can be overwhelming and often lead to relapse—even when someone is fully committed to change.
Medication-Assisted Treatment helps by:
By easing the physical challenges of early recovery, MAT creates space for individuals to engage more fully in the emotional and behavioral aspects of treatment.
When looking for an intensive outpatient program (IOP), our programs are your best choice with flexible day & night options.
Our outpatient programs offer step-down support as you re-adjust to your new life in recovery with continued care and support.
Our medication-assisted treatment programs utilize the latest advancements in addiction medicine for lasting results.
At Grand Union Holistic Solutions, we utilize FDA-approved medications as part of our MAT program when clinically appropriate. Each medication is carefully prescribed and monitored by qualified medical professionals to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Suboxone is one of the most commonly used medications for opioid addiction. It works by partially activating opioid receptors in the brain, which helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing the same euphoric effects as full opioids.
This allows individuals to stabilize physically while focusing on their recovery without the intense highs and lows associated with opioid use.
Naltrexone is used to treat both opioid and alcohol addiction. It works by blocking the effects of opioids and reducing the pleasurable effects of alcohol, making relapse less rewarding.
Vivitrol, an extended-release injectable form of naltrexone, provides consistent support over time and can be especially helpful for individuals committed to maintaining sobriety.
In some cases, additional medications may be used to manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or address co-occurring mental health conditions. Every medication plan is individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.
We value patient feedback and focus on creating a calm, respectful, and well-structured treatment experience. Here’s what our clients have shared about their time with Grand Union Holistic Solutions.
