Medication-Assisted Treatment
Provive Wellness provides options for medication-assisted treatment at our Wayne and Scranton PA locations. MAT combines medication with counseling and clinical support for opioid and alcohol use disorders — it isn’t offered on its own.
If you’ve been searching for a Suboxone clinic near you, our team can talk you through what’s available and help you understand your options.
Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment
Opioid and alcohol use disorders change how the brain handles craving, stress and reward. That isn’t a failure of willpower — it’s a physical change, and it’s why stopping through determination alone so often doesn’t hold. Medication-assisted treatment works on that directly, using FDA-approved medications to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal so that therapy has something steady to build on. Medication is only half of it: counseling and relapse prevention are the other half, and together they consistently do more than either alone. You don’t need to have any of this worked out before you get in touch.
- FDA-approved medications — reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, or block the rewarding effects of opioids and alcohol
- Never medication alone — always paired with counseling, group therapy and relapse prevention
- Clinically supervised — medication decisions are made under psychiatric supervision as part of a wider plan of care
- Built around your life — available alongside outpatient, IOP and PHP programming at our Wayne and Scranton locations
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
An intensive and highly structured form of outpatient rehab — daily therapeutic services for 20+ hours per week, including individual counseling, group therapy, and medical care.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Structured support for individuals who do not require 24-hour supervision, allowing them to maintain daily routines while receiving comprehensive clinical care.
General Outpatient Program
Ongoing treatment tools to reach and sustain recovery, adopt healthy routines, and live a full and balanced life while maintaining work and family commitments.
MAT / Medication-Assisted Treatment
At Provive Wellness, we provide options for MAT/medication-assisted treatment, including:
- Buprenorphine
- Suboxone
- Vivitrol
- Naltrexone
- Antabuse
- Disulfiram
- Narcan
Which medication is appropriate — if any — is determined during a clinical assessment. That includes Suboxone and buprenorphine for opioid use disorder, and the Vivitrol shot, a once-monthly naltrexone injection used for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Medication decisions are made under psychiatric supervision and integrated into a broader therapeutic plan alongside individual counseling, group therapy and relapse prevention.
Medication-assisted treatment works best when it’s part of a full plan of care. Our team will walk you through what that plan could look like for you.
Starting the Conversation
Suboxone treatment near you starts with a conversation, not a decision. You don’t need to know what treatment you need before you call — most people don’t.
- Reach out. Call either location or send us a message. The conversation is confidential, free, and carries no obligation.
- Assessment. We’ll talk through your history, your goals and any co-occurring mental health concerns, then recommend a level of care.
- Your plan. If medication-assisted treatment is appropriate, it’s built into a wider plan that includes therapy and ongoing recovery support.
- Ongoing care. Treatment continues through outpatient, intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization programming, with aftercare planning throughout.

Where MAT Fits in Your Treatment
Provive offers a full continuum of outpatient services, and our MAT program can run alongside any of them.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — Intensive, structured day treatment. Daily therapeutic services totalling 20+ hours per week, including individual counseling, group therapy and medical care, while you return home in the evenings.
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) — helps identify and reshape the thought patterns that drive painful emotions and impulsive reactions.
- Schema-focused therapy — works on deep, long-standing patterns formed early in life that keep repeating in adult relationships.
- BPD group therapy — skills practice and peer support in a group setting, where new ways of relating can be tried in real time.

Common Questions About MAT
Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist used to treat opioid use disorder. It attaches to the same receptors as other opioids but activates them only partially, which reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing significant euphoria at therapeutic doses.
This combination is the active formulation in Suboxone, usually taken as a sublingual film or sublingual tablet that dissolves under the tongue. Buprenorphine manages withdrawal and cravings. Naloxone is included as a safeguard: taken as directed it has little effect, but it discourages misuse of the medication by injection. It comes in several strengths, and which is appropriate for a given person is a clinical decision made by a licensed provider.
Naltrexone is an opioid antagonist used to treat both opioid and alcohol use disorder. It blocks the effects of opioids and reduces the drive to drink. Because it’s a full blocker, it’s generally started after someone has fully withdrawn from opioids. Vivitrol — often referred to as the Vivitrol shot — is an extended-release injectable form of naltrexone given once monthly rather than daily.
No. This is a common belief and it’s both inaccurate and clinically harmful. Medications used in MAT are prescribed and monitored by licensed providers as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Taken as directed, they stabilize brain chemistry rather than producing intoxication — which is what makes it possible to engage in therapy and rebuild daily life.
There’s no fixed timeline. Some people benefit from medication for months, others for considerably longer. Duration is a clinical decision made with your care team based on your progress and goals, and it can be revisited as your recovery develops.
Most major insurance plans cover medication-assisted treatment as part of substance use disorder care. Coverage details vary by plan. Call us and we’ll verify your benefits before your first appointment, at no cost.
Vivitrol is one of the options for medication-assisted treatment we provide, at both our Wayne and Scranton locations. It’s an extended-release naltrexone injection given roughly once a month instead of a daily tablet, which some people find easier to stay consistent with. Whether Vivitrol near you is the right fit — or whether another option suits you better — is something we’ll work out together during assessment.
Give us a call and we’ll talk it through. During your assessment we’ll look at your history, your goals and any co-occurring mental health concerns, then explain which of our options for medication-assisted treatment may be appropriate and how counseling and clinical support fit around them. If something outside what we offer would serve you better, we’ll tell you that too.
Medication-assisted treatment at Provive is delivered as part of a broader plan of care that includes counseling and clinical support. During your assessment we’ll determine which level of care — outpatient, IOP or PHP — fits your situation.
