Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Medications for Addiction Treatment, or MAT, uses FDA‑approved medications to treat opioid addiction. Coupled with counseling, MAT treats the whole patient and significantly reduces the rate of relapse. Medicare, Medicaid, and many private insurance plans cover MAT.
Medication
Most treatment plans will include medication. The type of medication chosen depends on several factors, including the patient’s specific circumstances and the treatment setting.
The most common medications used in the treatment of OUD are methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone.
​Counseling is recommended with the use of each of these medications.
