Struggling with addiction can feel overwhelming, and it’s not uncommon to think that willpower alone should be enough. But addiction affects brain chemistry in ways that make stopping without help extremely difficult. That’s why Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is one of the most effective and widely recommended approaches for people living with opioid or alcohol use disorder.
At FirePit Health, our virtual MAT program combines FDA-approved medications with clinical guidance, so you can begin recovery in a private, supportive environment. You’ll be matched with a licensed clinician—often within 24 hours—who will work with you to create a personalized plan that fits your goals, your pace, and your life.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines evidence-based medications with ongoing clinical support to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal, and prevent relapse. It’s not about replacing one substance with another—it’s about giving your brain and body the stability they need to focus on recovery.
At FirePit Health, our MAT program typically uses:
These medications are always prescribed with care, based on your health history and recovery goals.
Starting online MAT treatment with FirePit Health is straightforward and designed to remove as many barriers as possible.
You’ll answer a few questions about your health history and current challenges so we can determine if MAT is the right fit.
We’ll connect you to a licensed provider who understands opioid and alcohol addiction and can create a plan that works for you.
If appropriate, your provider may prescribe Suboxone or Naltrexone to help reduce cravings and support recovery. The plan is tailored to your goals, whether that means quitting entirely or reducing use safely.
Recovery doesn’t end with the first prescription. You’ll have regular check-ins, medication adjustments as needed, and referrals to therapy for added support. Many patients find it helpful to combine MAT with counseling, such as individual therapy or group-based programs, to strengthen long-term outcomes.
Stopping opioids or alcohol without medical support often leads to severe withdrawal symptoms and overwhelming cravings, which can make relapse almost inevitable. MAT helps break this cycle by providing stability while you focus on building healthier habits.

No—you don’t have to be fully abstinent to begin. MAT is specifically designed to help people reduce their use safely and gradually. Your clinician will guide you on timing and dosage to make the transition as safe and effective as possible.
Yes—virtual MAT has been shown to be just as effective as in-person care. With proper clinical oversight, medications can be prescribed and monitored remotely, while therapy and support are delivered through secure telehealth sessions. Many patients find online programs easier to stick with because they remove barriers like travel, stigma, and scheduling conflicts.
That’s okay—MAT can still help even if you’re unsure. Many people begin treatment while they’re still figuring out what recovery looks like for them. MAT provides the stability to make clearer decisions about your future without the pressure of going “all in” before you’re ready.
No—MAT medications don’t produce the same effects as opioids or alcohol. Suboxone and Naltrexone are designed to stabilize brain chemistry without creating a new dependency. They help quiet cravings and reduce relapse risk, so you can focus on therapy, relationships, and long-term healing.
