The Chilekwa Stepping Stone Foundation Inc is dedicated to providing comprehensive care that addresses the multifaceted nature of addiction. Our Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) program combines the use of FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to offer a holistic approach to recovery. MAT is particularly effective for individuals struggling with opioid or alcohol dependence, as it helps to manage the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms that can often lead to relapse.
In our MAT program, medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone are administered under the careful supervision of our medical team. These medications work by stabilizing brain chemistry, blocking the euphoric effects of substances, and normalizing body functions without the harmful effects of the abused drug. However, we believe that medication alone is not enough. That's why MAT at our foundation is always paired with counseling and support services, ensuring that individuals receive the emotional and psychological care necessary for long-term recovery.
Through this integrated approach, MAT helps reduce the physical discomfort of withdrawal and minimizes cravings, allowing individuals to focus on the therapeutic aspects of their recovery. Our goal is to empower clients to regain control over their lives, providing them with the tools and support they need to maintain sobriety and build a healthier future.
