What Is Outpatient Detox?
Outpatient detox is a medically supervised process of clearing substances from your body without requiring an inpatient hospital stay or residential rehab admission. Instead of leaving your home, your family, and your job, you receive medication management and clinical oversight from a licensed provider — and check in regularly via telehealth appointments.
At MAT's Clinic, outpatient detox is built around medication-assisted treatment (MAT) — the gold standard of care for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Using FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine (Suboxone), naltrexone (Vivitrol), and acamprosate, our providers eliminate or dramatically reduce withdrawal symptoms, making the detox process safe and manageable.
Opioid Detox
Buprenorphine (Suboxone) or Sublocade to eliminate withdrawal and cravings from heroin, fentanyl, and prescription opioids.
Alcohol Detox
Medically supervised alcohol tapering with naltrexone, acamprosate, and referral for benzodiazepine management when needed.
Kratom Detox
Buprenorphine-based taper protocol specifically designed for kratom and 7-OH dependency.
Stimulant Support
Emerging medication protocols and behavioral health coordination for meth and cocaine use disorder.
