This purpose of this course is to give an overview of Medication-Assisted Treatment For Opioid Addiction (MAT) in Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP) based on the Treatment Improvement Protocol developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of US Department of Health and Human Services.
