Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD), formally known as Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of FDA approved Buprenorphine and Methadone in combination with therapy to provide an individually tailored “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of opioid use disorders.

The goal of MOUD is long-term recovery; this treatment approach has also been shown to:

  • Prevention of Opioid Overdose Deaths
  • Relieve opioids cravings and withdrawal “dope sick”
  • Block euphoric “high” effects of opioids
  • Improve patient survival
  • Increase participation in treatment
  • Increase the ability to live a self-directed life
  • Increase patient’s ability to gain and maintain employment
  • Improves outcomes among women who have substance use disorders and are pregnant and outcomes for their babies
  • Decrease opioid use, opioid-related overdose deaths, and involvement with the criminal justice system
  • Lower a person’s risk of contracting HIV or hepatitis C by reducing the potential for relapse

Methadone and Buprenorphine DO NOT substitute one addiction for another. 
When someone is treated for an opioid addiction, the dosage of medication used does not get them high–it helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal. These medications restore balance to the brain affected by addiction, allowing the patient’s brain to heal while working toward recovery.
