medication assisted treatment (mat)

What are the Barriers to MAT Implementation?

Despite its proven efficacy, MAT faces several barriers:
- Stigma: Both patients and healthcare providers may have negative perceptions of MAT, viewing it as substituting one addiction for another.
- Regulatory Challenges: Strict regulations surrounding the prescribing and dispensing of MAT medications can limit access.
- Resource Limitations: Many treatment centers may lack the necessary resources, such as trained staff and funding, to provide comprehensive MAT services.
