MAT
Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is a common and effective approach when responding to individuals who have used opioids such as heroin, morphine, codeine, and oxycodone. Its approach combines the use of medications (buprenorphine and methadone) and counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. NOSC is committed to link individuals in need of services.
