Medication-Assisted Treatment - Alcohol Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) can help patients recover from serious addictions, including opioids or alcohol, through individualized treatment programs offering a combination of medication and counseling. This combination creates a greater opportunity for patients to be successful on their long-term drug and alcohol recovery journey. Pathways partners with United Community Services UCS Healthcare in Iowa to provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for drug and alcohol recovery. United Community Services UCS Healthcare provides medication for substance abuse treatment, and Pathways provides mental health counseling services.

Pathways and United Community Services (UCS) believe medication used in Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to treat addiction is much like using medication for other illnesses. Reducing the cravings and withdrawal symptoms through Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) often allows patients the ability to lead a more productive life — working, spending time with family and friends, performing the tasks of daily life — while engaging in counseling to address patients’ needs as they move toward recovery.

To begin Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinical services, please call Pathways at 319-235-6571 to start the evaluation process. After completing the evaluation, a physical is scheduled to determine eligibility and provide details to begin the program.

Insurance and Payment Information for Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medicaid and Medicare cover Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) medications. Some Medicare patients may be responsible only for their deductible, and while Medicare Advantage plans typically operate the same way, they do not always. There is a chance that patients may be liable for copay, coinsurance and deductible.
Clients with other insurance may reach out to their insurance companies to inquire about specific services and medications.
If a client does not have insurance and does not qualify for Medicaid, we have an available grant called the State Opioid Response (SOR4) grant that may be able to help.
