EDUCATIONAL NEED Substance use disorders (SUDs), especially opioid use disorder (OUD), are major public health issues. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines medications with counseling, is highly effective but often underused due to stigma, lack of knowledge, and misunderstandings. Understanding MAT is key to improving access to effective care, enhancing recovery outcomes, and addressing the opioid crisis. LEARNING OBJECTIVES – Define Medication-Assisted Treatment. – Describe substance use disorders. – Review medication treatment options related to substance use disorders within ambulatory and emergency settings.
