SUMMARY:Diverse\, Low Barrier MAT Programs: Case Studies for Increasing Access to Prevent Overdose
DESCRIPTION:In response to the opioid overdose epidemic\, national efforts to increase access to medication assisted treatment (MAT) have driven key policy changes in an effort to promote access to lifesaving treatment such as methadone and buprenorphine. Facente Consulting and The Center at the Sierra Health Foundation partnered to assess the current landscape of MAT services throughout several settings in California\, and created a series of case study videos\, a landscape analysis report\, and policy briefs. This presentation will explore the process and findings of this landscape analysis\, sharing some key case study videos and highlighting the various creative ways that programs have integrated MAT treatment into existing models even if they do not have a prescribing provider onsite. Participants will become familiarized with the meaning and significance of low barriers services in an MAT setting\, and will discuss various ways that MAT programs have been successful in preventing overdose and improving the overall health and wellness of their clients through provision of MAT.
