Misconceptions about Medication Assisted Treatment also decreases quality of care and limits access to MAT for their patients. MAT is a treatment option that combines the use of medications such as methadone and buprenorphine with counseling and behavioral therapies. MAT is considered to be an effective treatment for opioid use disorder, but it is misunderstood as being a “replacement” for illicit drugs. KADAP offers referrals and payment assistance for MAT Treatment along with case management to help those on their recovery journey with MAT.

A way to end overdose is to address the stigma surround substance use disorder and mental health. Stigma causes people to feel ashamed for something that is out of their control. Worst of all, stigma prevents people from seeking the help they need. For a group of people who already carry such a heavy burden, stigma is an unacceptable addition to their pain. According to a recent report, over 50% of those with clinical level mental health risks do not seek help. In the U.S., 25% of those not seeking treatment report it is due to not wanting others to know.
