Medication Assisted Treatment was identified by Madison Substance Awareness Coalition as an action, that when combined with other actions in our community, has a reasonable chance of making a difference in Substance Use. This is a on-going program in our community.

The MAT program is currently serving 50 clients and is planning to hire another provider to be able to meet the needs of more individuals in the community. The program currently has a waiting list.

The priority population/customers for Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) are adults and pregnant women with opioid use disorder, MAT aims to make a difference at the individual/interpersonal/organizational and policy level. Implementation will take place in the clinical setting.

The partners for Medication Assisted Treatment include:

Madison County Health Department’s (MCHD) Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) program had some struggles and success in 2022. The year started without the capacity to accept new patients which resulted in having nearly 20 people on a waitlist come October when MCHD contracted with a new X-waivered provider. Unfortunately, many of those on the waitlist did not engage in care. A major success for 2022 was securing two different grants to support the MOUD clinic and staff and our client’s treatment and recovery goals.

2023 was another successful year for our Medication for Opioid Use Disorder program (MOUD). We were awarded three grants to continue to support our patients with their treatment and recovery goals. We have seen a steady increase in patients resulting in our largest caseload since inception. In addition, we continue to see a majority of our patients thrive.
