MAT Prescriber Mentoring
Beginning in July of 2017, FADAA received funding from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) to support the engagement and services of physicians with the background, education, and experience to serve as peers for other physicians and professionals who want to provide or support Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
Today, FADAA hosts a cadre of nine (9) prescriber mentors who support MAT around the state. If you are interested in learning more about MAT or would like one of the Prescriber Peers to present for your organization, please contact us to find out more information:
