Heartfelt Recovery Centers provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in Hudson, NH, serving patients from Nashua, Manchester, and across New Hampshire. Our MAT program combines FDA-approved medications with individual counseling, group therapy, and structured outpatient care to treat opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder.

What Is Medication-Assisted Treatment?

Heartfelt Recovery Centers offers buprenorphine-based medications, including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol) for opioid use disorder, and naltrexone for alcohol use disorder. All medications are prescribed and monitored by a licensed MAT prescriber at our Hudson, NH facility. Medication selection is individualized based on each patient’s diagnosis, history, and clinical needs.

Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is a partial opioid agonist that reduces withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the full euphoric effects of opioids. The naloxone component is included to deter misuse by injection. Buprenorphine is a Schedule III controlled substance prescribed by DEA-certified providers in an outpatient setting.

Naltrexone (Vivitrol) is a full opioid antagonist available as a monthly injectable that blocks opioid receptors, preventing opioids from producing euphoric effects. Naltrexone is also FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder and reduces alcohol cravings in patients with alcohol use disorder. Patients must complete detox from opioids before starting naltrexone.

For patients who require methadone treatment, Heartfelt Recovery Centers coordinates referrals to SAMHSA-certified opioid treatment programs (OTPs) in the New Hampshire area. Methadone maintenance can only be dispensed through federally licensed OTPs and is not available in standard outpatient settings. Our admissions team facilitates this referral as part of a broader care coordination approach.

How MAT Works at Heartfelt Recovery Centers

MAT at Heartfelt Recovery Centers is never medication alone. Every patient receiving MAT is enrolled in our PHP or IOP program, which includes: 

This combination of medication and behavioral treatment produces significantly better outcomes than either approach in isolation, consistent with SAMHSA best practice guidelines.

Psychiatric evaluation during intake assesses co-occurring mental health conditions that may affect medication selection and dosing. Patients with dual diagnosis conditions such as depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder receive integrated mental health care alongside their MAT, ensuring the full clinical picture is addressed.

MAT prescribers at Heartfelt Recovery Centers monitor patients regularly, adjusting medication as clinical needs change. Medication management appointments are coordinated with therapy sessions to reduce scheduling burden and support consistent treatment engagement throughout the program.
