What is medication-assisted treatment
MAT treats substance use disorder with FDA-approved medication and counseling together. The medication eases withdrawal and reduces cravings, while therapy builds the skills and support that keep recovery going.
At Foundry, MAT is never a standalone prescription. Your prescriber manages medication while your therapy team treats substance use, trauma, and mental health in one plan.
MAT is associated with reduced overdose risk and improved retention in care. For opioid use disorder, including fentanyl, it is often a central part of treatment.
Where MAT fits, from detox through outpatient
Medication moves with you as your level of care changes. You don’t have to find a new prescriber each time.
Medically Supervised Detox
Licensed nursing staff are available around the clock while you withdraw. Prescribed medications ease symptoms and reduce cravings, and MAT can begin once your medical team confirms the timing is safe.
Residential Treatment
Medication continues alongside daily individual and group therapy, psychiatric care, and co-occurring treatment, all in the same Broomfield facility.
IOP & Virtual IOP
Continued clinical support as you return to home and work, in person or by telehealth. Your discharge plan maps out how your medication continues.
Detox and residential care happen in the same building, so you don’t change providers when withdrawal ends. A clinical assessment decides where you start.
Program pages
Medications used in MAT
Our medical team prescribes buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone when clinically indicated. Your prescriber recommends one based on your substance use history, withdrawal timing, other medications, and goals.
| Medication | How it works | Who it may fit | How Foundry provides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buprenorphine | Partial opioid agonist that eases withdrawal and reduces cravings | Adults with opioid use disorder | Prescribed and monitored by our medical team, often starting in detox |
| Methadone | Full opioid agonist taken daily | People with severe opioid use disorder or already stable on methadone | Coordinated by our medical team when clinically indicated |
| Naltrexone | Opioid blocker with no opioid effect | People fully opioid-free after detox; may also support alcohol recovery | Prescribed by our medical team when clinically indicated |
Buprenorphine can only start once withdrawal has begun, because an early dose can trigger sudden withdrawal. Starting in medically supervised detox lets our nursing and medical staff time that first dose safely.
Medication decisions are made by your prescriber after a clinical assessment.

Conditions we treat
MAT and co-occurring mental health care
Yes, we treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside MAT. Psychiatric medications are prescribed when clinically indicated and coordinated with your MAT plan, so one team manages both.
Trauma-Integrated Care and the Michael Barnes Family Institute
Our Trauma-Integrated Care model, developed by Dr. Michael Barnes, treats unresolved trauma as part of addiction rather than something to handle later. Through the Michael Barnes Family Institute, families learn how addiction works and how to support recovery at home.

How to start MAT: what to expect

Does insurance cover MAT at Foundry Front Range?

Does Foundry Front Range accept Medicaid for MAT?
Yes. We accept Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid), and Medicaid often covers medication-assisted treatment and psychiatric medications when clinically indicated. Admissions confirms your plan’s specific benefits.
Can I start medication the day I’m admitted?
Timing depends on your clinical assessment. Buprenorphine can only start after withdrawal has begun, so many people take their first dose during medically supervised detox once the medical team confirms it’s safe.
How long will I be on MAT?
Length of treatment varies by medication, substance, and your recovery goals. Some people use medication short term, while others continue long term. Your prescriber reviews progress with you and adjusts the plan over time.
Is MAT just replacing one drug with another?
No. MAT medications are prescribed at controlled doses and monitored by a medical team to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings. MAT is associated with reduced overdose risk and improved retention in care.
Can I keep taking MAT after I leave residential treatment?
Yes, when clinically appropriate. Discharge planning connects your prescription to follow-up care, and step-down options include our intensive outpatient and virtual intensive outpatient programs.
Is MAT safe if I also have anxiety, depression, or PTSD?
Yes. We coordinate MAT with psychiatric care, so your mental health medications and MAT are managed together in one integrated plan.
