MATE-Certified Provider in Burbank. Medication-Assisted Treatment, Therapy, and Whole-Person Care.

If you are looking for addiction treatment Los Angeles trusts, LA Integrative Psychiatry in Burbank offers a clear, evidence-based path forward. Our provider Knarik Oganesyan, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, is MATE certified, which means she is specifically trained and authorized to provide Medication-Assisted Treatment for substance use disorders. Care combines medication, therapy, and whole-person support so recovery is built to last.

What Does MATE-Certified Mean?

MATE stands for Medication Access and Training Expansion. The MATE Act is a federal law that requires healthcare providers to complete specialized training before they can prescribe certain medications used to treat substance use disorders, including buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. A MATE-certified provider has met those requirements and can offer medication-assisted treatment directly, without the older waiver requirements that limited access for years.

For patients, this means faster access to evidence-based medication options, fewer barriers to starting care, and a single provider who can manage both the medication side and the psychiatric side of recovery. In addiction treatment Los Angeles, this combination is still rare.

Substance Use Disorders We Treat

Our addiction treatment Los Angeles program serves adults working through a range of substance use challenges, including:

• Alcohol use disorder
• Opioid use disorder (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers)
• Stimulant use disorder (cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription stimulant misuse)
• Benzodiazepine dependence
• Cannabis use disorder
• Nicotine and tobacco dependence
• Co-occurring conditions (anxiety, depression, OCD, or ADHD alongside substance use)

Our Treatment Approach

Recovery looks different for every patient, which is why every plan starts with a careful evaluation. Your first visit runs 60 to 90 minutes and covers your history, current substance use, physical health, mental health, sleep, and life context. From there, we build a written plan with clear goals and next steps.

A typical addiction treatment Los Angeles plan combines several tools:

• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate, including buprenorphine, naltrexone, or other evidence-based medications
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify triggers and build skills that hold up under stress
• Motivational Interviewing to strengthen your own reasons for change
• Co-occurring mental health treatment, since addiction often comes paired with anxiety, depression, or trauma
• Whole-person support including sleep, nutrition, and stress reduction work
• Coordinated medication management with your primary care provider, therapist, or recovery community when you give written permission

Insurance Coverage and Access

Cost stops too many people from starting addiction treatment. The good news in Los Angeles: most major insurance plans cover psychiatric care for substance use disorders, including the medication and therapy components. At LA Integrative Psychiatry, we accept most major insurance including Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.
