MATx is a new mobile app to help health care practitioners provide evidence-based medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorders. Developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the app’s features include:
- Information on treatment approaches and medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of opioid use disorders
- A buprenorphine prescribing guide, which includes information on the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 waiver process and patient limits
- Clinical support tools, such as treatment guidelines, ICD-10 coding, and recommendations for working with special populations
- Access to critical helplines and SAMHSA’s treatment locators.
