74. The History of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Manage episode 438480754 series 3478771
Medication assisted treatment (MAT) has been a concept in medicine and society for around 300 years despite its seemingly recent debut with the rise of the opioid epidemic. This episode will kick off the next series we will embark on, MAT and MOUD (medications for opioid use disorder). We will discuss when the concept of MAT first originated and how it has evolved from a "magic elixir" treatment to a scientifically proven treatment concept. We will also touch on some of the more historic, and seemingly controversial, places and ways MAT was done and used. Future episodes will explore more of the details of the hows and the whys of the different types and options of MAT.
