Increasing Access to Medication-Assisted Treatment of Opioid Abuse in Rural Primary Care Practices An important aspect of the opioid epidemic is the lack of treatment options for millions of Americans living in rural communities. We can expand access by engaging primary care practices—the places where most rural Americans receive care. Doctors and nurses in these practices are trusted members of the community. They need information and tools to provide effective, evidence-based care for patients with opioid addictions. Medication-Assisted Treatment, or MAT, is evidence-based therapy for assisting people with opioid addiction in primary care offices. MAT involves using both medications and behavioral support to empower people to manage their addiction.
