Frequently asked questions

Is substance use disorder a disease?

Yes. Substance use disorders are recognized medical conditions, not a lack of willpower. They are treatable, and effective, evidence-based care is available.

What is medication-assisted treatment?

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) uses FDA-approved medications, alongside counseling, to reduce cravings and support recovery for substances such as opioids and alcohol. A qualified prescriber can determine if it is right for you.
