Recovery takes courage; the right support can make all the difference. At The Carter Treatment Center, our medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program combines safe, supervised medication use with therapy, counseling, and holistic care to help you manage cravings and build long-term stability.
Our evidence-based MAT program uses FDA-approved medications like Suboxone, and our clinical team continually evaluates new medication options as research and patient needs evolve.
We offer outpatient addiction treatment and supportive programs that serve metro Atlanta residents. We’re here to help you find balance and confidence at every stage of recovery.
MAT can help with cravings and other withdrawal symptoms, giving you the support you need to attain and maintain a life of recovery.
MAT blends medical care with behavioral health treatment to support individuals recovering from opioid or prescription drug dependence. By easing withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings, MAT helps stabilize the body so you can focus on the emotional and behavioral work of recovery.
At The Carter Treatment Center, we use MAT as part of a whole-person approach that includes therapy, education, and lifestyle support.
MAT helps you:
Our team monitors your progress closely, adjusting your treatment plan as your recovery evolves.
Suboxone is currently used in our MAT program. It helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms in a safe, controlled way. When combined with counseling and therapy, it can be a powerful tool for long-term recovery.
Our approach to Suboxone treatment includes:
Suboxone doesn’t replace therapy. It supports it. When your body and mind are more stable, it becomes easier to focus on the emotional healing that leads to lasting change.
We also employ informed medication management to support recovery and manage additional symptoms such as anxiety, nausea, cramping, or sleep disturbances. Every medication plan will be guided by your safety, comfort, and long-term well-being.
Medication is only one part of treatment. The other part—just as vital—is behavioral health therapy. Through individual and group counseling, you’ll explore the root causes of addiction, develop coping skills, and build a stronger foundation for recovery.
Your MAT plan may include:
By combining medical support with therapeutic care, you’ll learn how to live free from the physical and emotional hold of addiction.
We offer several levels of care for outpatient addiction treatment that meet your needs and schedule. Each level provides access to therapy, medical supervision (including MAT if needed), and recovery support programs.
These levels work together to provide a smooth transition from intensive care to long-term wellness.
Medication-assisted treatment is a key strategy for addressing the opioid crisis nationwide and in Georgia.
The evidence underscores a nationwide rise in behavioral health needs, mirrored by the growing demand within Georgia.

Medication-assisted treatment combines approved medication with therapy to help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, and support long-term recovery. It works best when paired with counseling, coping skills, and regular check-ins with a treatment team.
No. MAT is not a lifelong requirement. Your treatment plan is personalized, and our medical team will help you taper safely when you’re ready. The goal is stability, not dependency. Many people use medication for a period of time and then transition off as their recovery strengthens.
Right now, we use Suboxone as part of our MAT program. As our program grows, we may offer additional medications when they’re appropriate and evidence-based. Every plan is reviewed by licensed professionals to make sure it supports your safety and well-being.
Yes. Therapy is a key part of treatment. You’ll attend individual and group counseling to build coping skills, understand triggers, and strengthen your recovery support system. Medication helps stabilize your body, but therapy helps you heal your mind and habits.
MAT services are offered at our Alpharetta and Jefferson, Georgia locations, serving clients across metro Atlanta. Both centers provide medical oversight, therapy, and flexible scheduling to help you stay consistent with care.
You don’t have to face withdrawal or cravings alone. Medication-assisted treatment can help you feel steady enough to focus on what really matters—healing your body, mind, and relationships.
