The MAT Toolkit starts with information about billing, collaboration within communities, and getting MAT programs started. The next few sections discuss talking to clients, basic information about addiction and medication options for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Lastly, the toolkit discusses policy and clinical considerations for rural Alaska, care coordination and treating the whole person through integrated wrap around services.
