Medication assisted treatment combines FDA approved medication with counseling and ongoing medical monitoring to treat opioid and alcohol use disorder. Medication reduces withdrawal and cravings, and our medications for addiction treatment program pairs that with the counseling and follow up visits recovery actually asks of you.
MAT is sometimes written as MOUD, medications for opioid use disorder. Both terms describe the same evidence based approach. Porch Light Health delivers it as outpatient care, which means you go home after each visit.
Porch Light Health offers the full medication menu across Colorado, and the Denver clinic carries most of it directly. Anything not stocked at Blake Street is coordinated through a nearby site or by telehealth.
MAT is for adults living with opioid or alcohol use disorder, and Porch Light runs specific pathways for people whose situations need one.
Opioid use disorder treatment serves people using fentanyl, heroin, or prescription opioids who want to stop without going through withdrawal alone.
Alcohol use disorder treatment uses naltrexone and other medications to reduce cravings and heavy drinking days.
Treatment during pregnancy follows protocols built for pregnant patients, who should never stop opioids abruptly without medical guidance.
Adolescent treatment provides age appropriate care for teens, with family involvement built in.
Veteran addiction treatment accounts for service connected trauma and the way it tangles with substance use.
You do not need to be abstinent to begin, and you do not need a referral. If you are not sure MAT is the right fit, our team will tell you honestly during the assessment.
More detail on the visits themselves lives on what to expect from MAT. Clinicians and community partners can send a patient through our new patient referral form.
Porch Light Health accepts Medicaid and Medicare, along with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Cigna, and Kaiser Permanente. Benefits vary by plan, so we verify coverage before your first visit rather than leaving you to guess.
A sliding fee is a reduced fee, not free care. Ask our team for an estimate before your first appointment so nothing lands as a surprise.
