Many individuals struggling with opioid dependence also experience co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, or bipolar disorder. These conditions can fuel the addiction, making it more difficult to overcome, while the addiction itself can worsen mental health symptoms, creating a complex and challenging cycle. Our whole-person approach to healing acknowledges this interconnectedness. We believe that true recovery involves addressing both the addiction and the underlying mental health issues that may have contributed to its development or are being exacerbated by it. We strive to understand your unique story, your experiences, and your challenges, tailoring our treatment to meet your specific needs and goals. *Learn more about our approach to care from Cedar Recovery’s medical leadership team.* ![645e3e0017dc3221d4aca484 illus mat 2](https://www.cedarrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/645e3e0017dc3221d4aca484_illus-mat-2.png "645e3e0017dc3221d4aca484_illus-mat (2)") #### Opioid Addiction We offer personalized, evidence-based opioid addiction treatment, combining medication-assisted treatment and therapy to address the physical and psychological aspects of your recovery. ![645e3e005458fb8a9639bbaa illus love uncond 1](https://www.cedarrecovery.com/wp-content/uploads/645e3e005458fb8a9639bbaa_illus-love-uncond-1.png "645e3e005458fb8a9639bbaa_illus-love-uncond (1)") #### Co-occurring Disorders We recognize that opioid addiction often coexists with mental health conditions like anxiety or depression.

Travel, glasses and relax people enjoy quality time together on Australia holiday") ## Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Medication-Assisted Treatment combines the use of medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine) with behavioral therapies to overcome opioid use disorder. Science is challenging the myth that will-power is all it takes to beat addiction. The reality is, once addicted, the biochemistry of the brain is permanently changed. Because of that, it’s not as simple as “choosing” to stop taking opioids or other addictive substances like heroin. We believe going ‘cold turkey’ is not realistic for most people and sustainable recovery is more likely to occur through Medication-Assisted Treatment. Suboxone (buprenorphine) works by blocking the receptors in the brain that crave opioids, without activating these receptors to create a “high.” Blocking opioid receptors reduces or eliminates cravings for opioids. If drugs like heroin or prescription pain pills are used, the opioid receptors are blocked, so these drugs will not give off the “high” either. - Proven, evidence-based approach to treating addiction - Helps to deal with withdrawal symptoms and cravings which can make it easier to work towards recovery goals like connecting with family, keeping a job, or whatever you want to work toward - Supplements medication with therapy to address past trauma for more effective treatment ##### Frequently Asked Questions ## You may be asking… ##### [What is MAT?](#432fe4d27875bfdf4) Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines the use of medications like Suboxone (buprenorphine) with behavioral therapies to overcome opioid use disorder.
