This January marks the first-ever Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month, launched by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This national observance aims to raise awareness of effective, evidence-based treatments for substance use disorders, empowering individuals to seek support and begin their recovery journey.
For many, the new year is a time to reflect, reset, and take steps toward healthier living. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, now is the perfect time to learn about the resources and treatments available to support recovery.
What Is MAT/MOUD and How Can It Help?
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), also referred to as Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), is a highly effective, evidence-based approach to treating substance use disorders. According to the CDC, combining medication with counseling and psychosocial support significantly increases the chance of recovery.
MAT treats opioid, alcohol, and other substance use disorders as medical conditions—because they are. Recovery is not only possible; it’s achievable with the right treatment plan tailored to your needs.
