MAT LocatorMAT Locator: Tool to Find Treatment for Opioid Addiction in WA

The Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Locator is an online map showing where people can get medications like Buprenorphine and Methadone to treat opioid addiction.

The searchable map shows hundreds of clinics in WA State that have opioid addiction treatments and overdose reversal drugs. It also shows how close the clinics are, if they offer counseling, and if they take Medicaid or cash payments.

The tool is run by Washington Recovery Help Line; it was developed with help from the UW Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute. According to ADAI's Caleb Banta-Green, with the new map, "a person can call and get set up the first time to a really good fit" for their treatment needs.

The MAT Locator works on mobile devices and computers.

The goal is to inform clinicians of overdose death rates among U.S. women aged 30–64, from 1999–2017, overall and by drug subcategories, and clinical implications for members of the health care team. CDC surveillance is the basis for this activity.

This activity is intended for internists, emergency medicine practitioners, family medicine practitioners, obstetricians, gynecologists, psychiatrists, public health officials, nurses, pharmacists, and other members of the health care team who care for women who might be at risk for drug overdose. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  1. describe overall rates of overdose death among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017;
  2. determine rates of overdose death by drug subcategories among U.S. women aged 30–64 years during 1999–2017; and
