Write a Discussion Thread Medication-Assisted Treatments (Mats)
From the videos by Lyle and the textbook readings from Inaba and Cohen, we learned about treatments such as Methadone and Ant abuse, also known as medication-assisted treatments (MATs). We also learned about the return of addiction disease as a “multidimensional response pattern” from Reeks and Paul’s.
Thread: From the readings and videos, respond to the following:
How might a multidimensional response pattern influence and individual’s relapse when receiving MATs?
As counselors, how can we educate clients about the biological aspects of their addiction when using MATs?
What are other treatment options other than antagonist approaches?
