Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is a time-tested, research-supported form of care for adults who have developed opioid use disorder, which is the clinical term for opioid addiction. MAT has been offered in the United States for several decades, and it has proved to be both safe and effective. People who participate in MAT programs receive prescription medication and take part in counseling sessions. The medications that have been approved for use in MAT programs can ease some of the more severe symptoms of opioid withdrawal, which can make it easier for a person to end their opioid use. The counseling component of MAT can help people gain vital information, adopt healthier behaviors, and develop the skills they need to achieve long-term recovery. Many reputable organizations, including the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) have endorsed MAT. SAMHSA has reported that the benefits of medication-assisted treatment include better survival rates, greater likelihood of remaining in treatment, increased ability to find and keep a job, and improved birth outcomes for people who receive MAT while pregnant.
