Medication-assisted treatment, often referred to as MAT, is widely used across Texas to help individuals manage opioid and alcohol dependence when abstinence alone is not enough. When medications are prescribed responsibly and paired with counseling, MAT can reduce cravings, lower relapse risk, and help people regain stability during recovery.

At Texas Helps at San Marcos, medication-assisted treatment is approached with care, structure, and medical oversight. Every MAT plan is developed with the understanding that recovery is not linear — and that progress looks different for each person. Our role is to provide clinical support without judgment, pressure, or unrealistic expectations.

Medically Reviewed MAT Care

Medication-assisted treatment at Texas Helps is provided under the supervision of licensed medical professionals experienced in addiction treatment. Medications, therapy involvement, and treatment duration are adjusted based on medical history, response to care, and ongoing clinical evaluation.

Our focus remains on safety, accountability, and practical recovery — not rigid timelines or generic protocols.

Understanding Medication-Assisted Treatment

MAT combines prescription medications with structured therapy to address both the physical and behavioral components of substance use disorders. Over time, repeated substance use disrupts how the brain regulates stress, reward, and impulse control. When substances are removed, the body often struggles to function normally.

Medication-assisted treatment helps stabilize these systems, giving individuals the physical steadiness needed to participate meaningfully in therapy and daily life.

Medication-assisted treatment is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) as a clinically supported treatment option for opioid and alcohol use disorders.

Is Medication-Assisted Treatment Allowed and Regulated in Texas?

Yes. MAT is permitted and regulated in Texas when prescribed by licensed providers within an accredited treatment setting. At Texas Helps, MAT medications are not prescribed casually or indefinitely. Progress is monitored, and adjustments are made based on clinical need rather than convenience.

Treatment plans are reviewed regularly to ensure medications remain appropriate, effective, and aligned with recovery goals.

Our Accreditations

Texas Helps is accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) at all of our locations. Each facility is also licensed by the region’s state governing body. We are proud to maintain these accreditations ensuring the provision of the highest standards required in behavioral health.
