MAT

Medication for Addiction Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA-approved medication for the purpose of detoxification or maintenance of treatment for alcohol or opioid use disorders. MAT has been shown to be a safe and effective way to treat substance use disorders, especially when used in combination with behavioral therapies. The Substance Use and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) supports the use of MAT and encourages dissemination of MAT services to substance use disorder treatment providers.
