Why MAT Consultation Matters
Healthcare providers often encounter patients with opioid or alcohol use disorders, yet determining the most appropriate treatment approach can sometimes feel complex. Whether you're initiating Medications for Addiction Treatment (MAT) for the first time or seeking guidance for a specific clinical situation, expert consultation can help support informed, evidence-based decision making.
SUDIS connects healthcare providers with experienced addiction medicine professionals who can offer practical guidance, answer clinical questions, and help clinicians feel confident when caring for patients with substance use disorders.
MAT consultation can support both new and experienced healthcare providers when questions arise regarding patient assessment, medication selection, or ongoing treatment planning.

Receive guidance on beginning MAT for patients with opioid or alcohol use disorders, including medication selection and treatment considerations.
✓ Improve Patient Outcomes
Early access to evidence-based treatment can improve patient health, stability, and long-term recovery outcomes.
✓ Support Complex Clinical Decisions
Consult experienced addiction medicine professionals when managing challenging cases or determining the most appropriate treatment pathway.
✓ Consultation When You Need It
