Mobile MAT program is a healthcare service that delivers addiction treatment directly to individuals in their communities using mobile units, such as vans or specialized vehicles. These programs provide medication assisted treatment, which typically includes medications like buprenorphine, combined with counseling and support services, to help individuals who have opioid use disorder manage cravings, reduce withdrawal symptoms, and support long‑term recovery.

These units are designed to reach underserved or remote areas, offering greater accessibility to individuals who may face barriers like transportation issues, limited access to healthcare facilities, or social stigma. In addition to providing medication, the mobile MAT program offers a range of supportive services, such as mental health counseling, case management, risk reduction education, and referrals to additional healthcare or social services.
