What Is Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

On today's podcast Coach Blu speaks to Dr. Mark Leeds and the work he is doing to assist the recovery community using Medication-Assisted Treatment. MAT is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, which is effective in the treatment of opioid use disorders (OUD) and can help some people to sustain recovery. Listen and learn about what is available and how it is used. This is a great podcast if you've had any questions in the past about what medicated assisted treatment can do, and what we can do to lessen the stigma around medication that's helping save lives.
