Medication-Assisted Recovery (MAR) — also called Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) — is a life-saving, evidence-based approach that uses FDA-approved medications to treat substance use disorders. Not a replacement of one drug for another, MAR saves lives.
For opioid use disorder, medications include buprenorphine (Suboxone®, Subutex®), methadone, or naltrexone (Vivitrol®). For alcohol use disorder, options include acamprosate (Campral®), disulfiram (Antabuse®), or naltrexone.
These medications help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, prevent relapse, and lower the risk of overdose. Combined with counseling, peer support, or other recovery tools, they improve stability and support long-term recovery.
