TeleMAT

TeleMAT, also known as Tele-MOUD (medication for opioid use disorder via telemedicine), is the combination of telehealth services and Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) patients.[1][2]

Overview

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the term “MAT” refers to the "use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a ‘whole-patient’ approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.” The administration also notes the importance of addressing other health conditions during treatment.[3]

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) defines Telehealth, or telemedicine, as a course of care that “lets your health care provider provide care for you without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone."[4]

In 2019, the term “TeleMAT” was coined by the QuickMD team to refer to the service of providing MAT to patients via telehealth.[5][6]
