Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and wrap-around medical and social services for treatment of people affected by opioid use disorder (OUD).
What is Opioid Use Disorder?
A problematic pattern of opioid use leading to impairment, distress or poor quality of life.
What is MAT?
Medication-assisted treatment safely combines behavioral therapy and medication, such as buprenorphine, to provide a whole-patient approach to treat opioid use disorder. In scientific studies, MAT has been shown to reduce the feeling of withdrawals, cravings and accidental drug poisonings.
