Can We Stop Calling It “Medication-Assisted Treatment”?

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is credited with saving lives and helping countless people achieve long-term recovery.  The body of research amassed over the last 50 years is so compelling that academic and medical communities consider its efficacy a settled question.  Nevertheless, the debate about the role of MAT in recovery is raging today more than ever.  In this webinar, we will discuss why calling it MAT may contribute to its stigma, followed by an in-depth discussion of the cutting edge in anti-relapse medications for a range of substance use disorders – and what the primary role of non-prescribers can be in direct patient care.
