MATClinicsTherapist in Salisbury, MD
Great to meet you
MATClinics is a medication-assisted treatment provider specializing in substance use disorders. They treat patients with alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, and stimulant use disorder. Treatment begins with an intake assessment where providers gather information and determine if the patient is a good fit for their protocol. Patients receive medication (such as buprenorphine/Suboxone for opioid use) along with clinical support. The initial phase involves weekly visits for stabilization and monitoring, typically transitioning to monthly maintenance visits once stable. MATClinics employs providers with extensive experience prescribing medications for substance use disorders. They collect urine samples at visits to inform treatment decisions and adhere to strict confidentiality regulations. The practice takes a non-judgmental approach, not discharging patients for relapse or continued use of illicit substances.
Role
Therapist
What a first session looks like
Virtual & In-PersonAt the first visit, you will meet with a provider who will collect your vitals and a urine screen, discuss treatment options, and if you are a good fit for their protocol, receive a prescription to address your specific needs. New patients typically have appointments weekly over the first two weeks (three total appointments) and then monthly thereafter if stable.
Specialties & focus areas
Recovery focus
Other focus areas
Evidence-based approaches
MAT
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy. Standard of care for opioid and alcohol use disorder; emerging evidence in gambling for impulsivity-targeting agents.
Medication management
Medication Management. Ongoing monitoring + adjustment of psychiatric or addiction medications by a prescribing clinician. Often paired with therapy, not in place of it.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.
Dialectical behavior therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.
Group therapy
Group Therapy. A small facilitated circle where people working on similar struggles practice naming what is hard, hearing themselves in others, and learning skills together. The room is the medicine.
Integrated mental and substance use disorder treatment
Integrated Treatment. Treats addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in the same plan, rather than sequentially. Most clinically effective when both are present.
Individual psychotherapy
Individual Psychotherapy. One-to-one sessions with a licensed clinician. The standard-bearer of mental-health care; most evidence-based plans build around it.
Telemedicine/telehealth therapy
Telehealth Therapy. Real clinical sessions delivered over video. Same evidence base as in-person care for most conditions; meets you where you actually are instead of where the office is.
