For more than 50 years, opioid treatment has helped people when other forms of treatment have failed. It improves the medical and emotional lives of people addicted to opioids. Treatment reduces the chances of getting HIV and other infectious diseases and decreases criminal behavior. Overall, it improves the lives of the patients who seek treatment.
At Sinai Chicago, the Opioid Medication Assisted Treatment Program, also known as M.A.T., partners with many community-based organizations to help individuals suffering from opioid use by connecting them with the proper care.
