Medication Assisted Treatment

UCS Healthcare is one of Iowa's few Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) providers. We have successfully helped hundreds of patients recover from addictions, including opioids or alcohol, through individualized treatment programs offering a combination of medication and counseling. Through our own experience and independent studies, this combination creates a greater opportunity for our patients to succeed with their long-term recovery.

We utilize a variety of medications in our MAT program to treat alcohol or opioid use disorders.

Our belief at UCS is that medication used in MAT to treat addiction is much like medication for other illnesses. Reducing the cravings and withdrawal symptoms through MAT often allows our patients to lead more productive lives. Such as working, spending time with family and friends, and performing the tasks of daily life – while engaging in counseling to address all their needs as they move toward recovery. MAT treatment is available in our clinics in Des Moines and Ankeny and our medication units in partnership with certified treatment centers.
