Update: MAT

Our last episode was a Rebeat of “The Game has Changed”, one of our earliest and most listened to episodes that explored medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder. A LOT has changed since we first published the episode in 2018! In this follow up episode, addiction medicine specialist, Dr. Aimee Moulin, talks to us about what’s new, including modifying treatment for people using fentanyl; and what’s old news - the X waiver!
