In 2015, nearly 2.4 million Americans had an opioid use disorder. Close to 80% did not receive treatment. To help change those numbers, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has developed a free mobile application called MATx that supports medication-assisted treatment. The app “empowers health care practitioners to provide effective, evidence-based care for people with opioid use disorder.” Features include the following:
- Information on treatment approaches and medications approved by the FDA for use in treating opioid use disorders;
- A buprenorphine prescribing guide, including information on the Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000 waiver process and patient limits;
- Clinical support tools, such as treatment guidelines, ICD-10 coding, and recommendations for working with special populations;
- Access to critical helplines and SAMHSA’s treatment locators.
