Medication Assisted Treatment

Medication Assisted Treatment - Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.  Research shows that a combination of medication and therapy can successfully treat these disorders, and for some people struggling with addiction, MAT can help sustain recovery.  The resources below can help community partner agencies become familiar with the benefits of MAT, find information on buprenorphine waiver trainings and universal screening, and get connected with local MAT prescribers.
