Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT)
On December 29, 2022, Congress passed the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment (MAT) and Medication Access and Training Expansion (MATE) Acts to:
- expand access to buprenorphine for the treatment of opioid use disorder, and
- normalize and enhance substance use care across healthcare settings.
These new mandates will help to expand the use of buprenorphine in different settings. It is no longer required to obtain a Data Waiver in order to prescribe MOUD. Now, any medical provider with a DEA License is permitted to prescribe MOUD. The Maryland Addiction Consultation website has been updated with a page dedicated to the Mate/Mat acts.
