Meeting MAT in Newport News
These medications help you break the cycle of chemical dependency by blocking the effects of opioids, reducing cravings, and easing withdrawal symptoms. This allows you to wean off illicit substances and eventually maintenance medications as well in a safe and controlled manner.
Medications are combined with counseling to address the psychological and behavioral aspects of addiction. Evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI) help change your mindset when it comes to substances and reinforce your motivations for recovery.

The Newport News American Addiction Treatment Center is close to the James River. It is part of a vibrant community with plenty of outdoor activities and historical sites to support your recovery journey. The center also offers yoga therapy, which can really complement your treatment program.

Having struggled with her mental health, Gemma has spent much of her writing career focused on topics surrounding behavioral health and stigmatized health issues, such as eating disorders, depression, obesity, and sexually transmitted diseases. It was a natural step to write about addiction, with her background in Biology and Research Science playing a key role in understanding chemical dependency as a disease. By writing about drug rehabilitation in an accessible and compassionate way, she hopes more people will feel encouraged to seek help.
