MAT Detox
Detox is often the first and most physically challenging step in the recovery journey. At Sacramento Wellness, we believe it should never be endured alone, or without the right support. That’s why we offer MAT Detox in Sacramento, combining the safety of medical detox with the stabilizing effects of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for individuals withdrawing from alcohol, opioids, and other substances.
Our priority is simple: protect your health, reduce your discomfort, and prepare you for long-term recovery with dignity and clinical excellence.
What Is MAT Detox?
MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) detox refers to the use of FDA-approved medications, in combination with medical supervision and therapy, to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings during detoxification. Unlike “cold turkey” approaches that can be dangerous and traumatic, MAT treatment in Sacramento at our center offers a medically informed, compassionate pathway to sobriety.
We treat addiction as a medical condition and detox as a clinical process that deserves attention, expertise, and care.
Why Choose Medical Detox in Sacramento?
At Sacramento Wellness, our medical detox program offers round-the-clock support from licensed clinicians, ensuring a safer, more comfortable experience for individuals withdrawing from substances such as:
- Alcohol
- Heroin and fentanyl
- Prescription opioids (oxycodone, hydrocodone)
- Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Ativan)
- Stimulants (meth, cocaine)
Our MAT detox in Sacramento is conducted under strict medical protocols and personalized to each client’s substance history, physical health, and mental health profile.
- 24/7 Medical Supervision
Our on-site medical staff monitors vital signs, manages withdrawal symptoms, and intervenes immediately if complications arise. You are never alone in the process. - Medication-Assisted Support
We use evidence-based medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, and methadone for opioid detox, and medications like acamprosate and benzodiazepines (as medically appropriate) for alcohol withdrawal. - Psychiatric Support
Detox can surface anxiety, depression, and trauma. Our MAT program integrates mental health assessments and counseling from day one. - Stabilization for Ongoing Care
Detox is not treatment, it’s the gateway to it. We prepare each client for the next phase of residential or inpatient recovery through discharge planning and therapeutic readiness. - Respect and Dignity
We treat every person with compassion, confidentiality, and clinical respect regardless of their history or stage of readiness.
Who Needs MAT Detox?
Our medical detox in Sacramento is recommended for individuals who:
- Are physically dependent on drugs or alcohol
- Have experienced painful or dangerous withdrawal symptoms in the past
- Are at risk of seizures, hallucinations, or medical instability during detox
- Are motivated to recover but fear the detox process
- Have co-occurring disorders that require careful medication management
What to Expect During MAT Detox
Each detox journey is different, but our structured protocol ensures consistency, safety, and clear communication. Here’s what you can expect:
- Comprehensive Intake
We begin with a medical and psychological assessment to determine your detox needs, medication eligibility, and safety concerns. - Personalized MAT Plan
Based on your assessment, we design a tailored detox plan that may include tapering strategies, medications, hydration support, and therapeutic check-ins. - Monitoring and Adjustments
You’ll be monitored closely during the most acute withdrawal period (typically the first 3–7 days). We adjust medication dosages based on how your body responds. - Supportive Environment
Our detox space is calm, confidential, and staffed by professionals trained to manage both physical and emotional discomfort with care. - Transition Planning
As you stabilize, our team prepares you for the next phase of your recovery, whether that’s residential treatment, inpatient rehab, or dual diagnosis support.
A Safer Way to Detox Starts Here
Too many individuals avoid treatment out of fear of withdrawal. At Sacramento Wellness, we believe detox should never be a barrier to recovery and with the right care, it doesn’t have to be.
Our MAT detox program in Sacramento gives you the tools, time, and medical supervision to clear your body of substances safely while preparing your mind for what comes next.
Be Ready for What Comes After
Detox is the first step. But recovery is a process. After completing MAT treatment in Sacramento, clients at Sacramento Wellness have the option to continue with:
- Residential treatment
- Inpatient rehab
- Trauma-informed therapy
- Dual diagnosis care
- Aftercare planning and support
By staying connected to care, you increase your chances of long-term sobriety and a better quality of life.
