Leveraging Virtual Care for MAT: Best Practices to Improve Access to Care for Substance Use Disorders

Having an MAT program is essential for community clinics delivering behavioral health services -- especially for CCBHCs required to deliver services for patients experiencing substance use disorders. However, standing up the program in the face of behavioral health provider shortages is no easy task.

That’s where leveraging virtual care comes in to not only ensure access to life-saving services but also enable your organization to deliver long-term, high-quality care for patients seeking addiction treatment.

In this live webinar, our panel of clinic leaders and expert behavioral health providers specializing in virtual MAT services will share their insights and knowledge around optimizing care delivery for patients experiencing substance use disorders.
