• Medication for addiction (MAT): medicines for opioid or alcohol use disorder, used with counseling.Ask which of buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone they can prescribe, whether a prescriber is on site, whether they will carry on a medication someone already takes, and whether counseling is required to keep the prescription.
