Control Withdrawal Symptoms and Stay Focused on Recovery
When opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms become difficult to manage, MAT can provide the stability needed to keep moving forward.
MVP Recovery provides medication-assisted treatment in Delaware County and Chester County using methadone, Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol.
Treatment can help ease physical symptoms, reduce cravings, and make it easier to remain involved in your care.
Your plan is coordinated by psychiatric providers, registered nurses, counselors, and support staff based on your health, treatment history, and goals.
With medical monitoring, behavioral health services, peer support, licensed recovery housing, and IOP through one network, MVP gives you access to more than medication alone.
Compare Your Medication-Assisted Treatment Options
The right option depends on your health, symptoms, recent opioid use, treatment history, and personal preferences.
Our medical team will explain how each medication works and help determine which approach may be appropriate for you.
Methadone
Methadone is a long-acting medication that can reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
It is taken under medical supervision, with your dosage monitored and adjusted based on your response to treatment.
Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone)
Suboxone is a daily medication that helps manage opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
It contains buprenorphine, which helps stabilize opioid receptors, and naloxone, which helps discourage misuse.
Sublocade (Extended-Release Buprenorphine)
Sublocade is a monthly injection that delivers a steady dose of buprenorphine.
It may be an option for people who have already begun buprenorphine treatment and would prefer not to take medication every day.
Vivitrol (Naltrexone)
Vivitrol is a monthly, non-opioid injection that blocks the effects of opioids.
You must be opioid-free before beginning Vivitrol. Your provider will review your recent opioid use and determine when it is safe to receive your first injection.
Is MAT Right for Your Recovery?
Medication-assisted treatment may help when opioid use, physical withdrawal, or repeated returns to use are making it difficult to move forward.
Before recommending an option, your care team will review your health, current medications, symptoms, treatment history, and goals.
MAT May Be Right for You If You:
- Have opioid use disorder
- Experience strong cravings or withdrawal symptoms
- Have struggled to stop using opioids
- Have returned to opioid use after previous treatment
- Want medication alongside counseling and behavioral health care
- Prefer structured treatment with ongoing clinical monitoring
Additional Medical Review May Be Needed If You:
- Take medications that could interact with treatment
- Have liver, breathing, heart, or other medical concerns
- Are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- Recently used opioids and are considering Vivitrol
- Have had an allergic reaction to a treatment medication
- Need help finding an option that fits the required dosing and appointment schedule
These factors do not necessarily prevent you from receiving treatment. They help your medical team identify the safest option and determine whether additional monitoring is needed.
A clinical assessment with an MVP provider can help you understand which treatment may be appropriate for your needs.

What Patients Like You Want to Know Before Starting Treatment
Do I need to stop using opioids before starting medication?
It depends on the medication.
Starting certain treatments too soon after opioid use can cause sudden withdrawal. Vivitrol requires you to be opioid-free before your first injection, while methadone and buprenorphine-based options have different starting requirements.
Your MVP provider will ask about your recent opioid use and help you begin treatment safely.
Can I continue working or attending school during treatment?
Many patients continue working, attending school, and caring for their families while receiving treatment.
Your appointment and dosing schedule will depend on your medication, needs, and progress. Our team will explain what treatment may look like in your daily life before you begin.
How often will I need to come to the treatment center?
Visit frequency depends on your medication, treatment plan, and progress.
Your care team will explain your initial schedule and let you know whether appointment or dosing requirements can change over time.
Can I live in recovery housing while receiving MAT?
Yes. MVP provides access to licensed recovery housing for individuals receiving medication-assisted treatment.
Placement depends on your needs, eligibility, current availability, and the level of support that is appropriate for you.
How long can I remain on medication-assisted treatment?
There is no single treatment timeline that is right for everyone.
Some people use medication for several months, while others benefit from continuing it for years or longer. Your provider will monitor your progress and help you make informed decisions over time.
Do not reduce or stop your medication without speaking with your care team.
What are the possible side effects of MAT medications?
Side effects vary by medication and may include nausea, constipation, headache, tiredness, trouble sleeping, sweating, or discomfort at an injection site.
Your provider will review your health and current medications, explain what to expect, and monitor how you respond.
Contact your care team if a side effect concerns you or interferes with your daily life.
Is treatment confidential?
MVP respects your privacy and handles your treatment information according to applicable confidentiality and health privacy requirements.
Our team can answer questions about how your information is used and who may have access to it before you begin treatment.
