Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy uses scents from plant-based oils to support relaxation or stress reduction. It should be described as a wellness or comfort service, not as a primary treatment for addiction, trauma, or mental health disorders.

MAT uses approved medications with counseling or recovery support when clinically appropriate. It is especially important for opioid use disorder and may also be used for alcohol use disorder.
