Overcoming opioid addiction is tough, but the right treatment can make all the difference. At DeNovo Recovery, we help people break free from addiction using Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). While we don’t offer methadone, we provide safer, proven alternatives like buprenorphine and naltrexone.
Why Consider MAT Instead of Methadone?
Methadone has been used for decades, but it comes with risks. It’s a full opioid agonist, meaning it activates opioid receptors like heroin or painkillers—just at a slower rate. It helps with withdrawal but can be addictive itself.
At DeNovo Recovery, we focus on alternative MAT options that are just as effective but with fewer risks.
Our Approach to MAT
We combine FDA-approved medications with therapy and support, helping you heal both physically and mentally.
Buprenorphine (Suboxone)
- Partial opioid agonist—reduces cravings without the high.
- Lower risk of dependency compared to methadone.
- Can be taken at home with a doctor’s guidance.
Naltrexone (Vi$vitrol)
- Blocks opioid receptors—prevents the high from opioids.
- No risk of addiction.
- Best for those who’ve already detoxed.
Both options are backed by science and used to support long-term recovery.
