Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT)?
MAT helps people with opioid or alcohol problems, including those who are not ready to fully stop using.
How can I get medication for addiction treatment?
You can make an appointment to see a provider at any of the clinics listed in this directory. Tell your provider you would like to start taking medication to help with your opioid or alcohol use. They can prescribe the appropriate medication and follow up with you to make sure it helps you.
Do I have to go to a substance use treatment program to start MAT?
No. Buprenorphine for opioid use disorder can be safely started by providers in medical clinics without requiring that people go to a substance use treatment program. Naltrexone for alcohol use disorder can also be safely started without requiring that people go to a substance use treatment program. For most people, starting naltrexone for opioid use disorder does require an admission for withdrawal management (detox) to safely start this medication.
