MiHIA Opioid Strategy Priority Area 

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
 
Medicated-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA- approved medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. There are three medications commonly used to treat opioid addiction: Methadone, Naltrexone, and Buprenorphine.
Following the MiHIA Community Coalition Accelerator Workshop on August 8, 2018, the MAT Priority Subworkgroup set forth to accomplish the agreed upon regional goal through completion of aligning key strategies.

GOAL: Increase the number of providers participating in MAT in the MiHIA Region
