Opioid addiction is a serious and often life-threatening condition. MAT treatment (Medication-Assisted Treatment) is a proven solution that can help individuals in Tennessee overcome opioid dependence safely and effectively. At Nashville Addiction Clinic, we specialize in TeleMAT, a fully virtual, convenient, and compassionate approach to recovery.

Whether you live in Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Jackson, or Clarksville, or anywhere in Tennessee, our virtual treatment program is designed for people struggling with opioid withdrawal and cravings, helping them regain control of their lives without ever stepping into a clinic.

What is MAT Treatment?

MAT treatment combines FDA-approved medications like Suboxone with counseling to address both the physical and psychological aspects of opioid addiction. Studies by the DEA and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) show that MAT significantly reduces the risk of overdose, increases treatment retention, and improves long-term recovery outcomes.

Key benefits of MAT treatment include:

  • Reduced opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms
  • Lower risk of relapse and overdose
  • Improved mental health and stability
  • Support from certified counselors with master’s degrees

At Nashville Addiction Clinic, our TeleMAT program ensures patients receive these benefits in the comfort of their own home.
