Medication Assisted Treatment MAT pairs nondrug therapies, such as counseling and with an FDA-approved medication to treat OUD. These drugs buprenorphine and naltrexone Research shows that MAT significantly increases a patient s adherence to treatment and reduces illicit opioid use compared with nondrug approaches. By reducing risk behaviors such as injection of illicit drugs, it also decreases transmission of infectious diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C. 4 Cs of Recovery
