TeleMAT:
Medication-Assisted Treatment
using Telemedicine
MAT is an effective treatment for Substance Use Disorders;
however, 30 million Americans don’t have access to addiction psychiatrists.
With TeleMAT, patients can receive care and addiction treatment
from specialists through telepsychiatry.
This diagram illustrates an integrated approach to effective treatment for substance use disorders that puts the patient at the center to receive care and addiction treatment through Telepsychiatry. The four pillars of care we focus on are access to a Genoa TeleMat Provider, Counselor, Care Coordinator and Care Facility Staff.
- Genoa TeleMat Providers diagnose opioid use disorder and prescribe medication.
- Counselors provide SUD counseling & refer to recovery support.
- Care coordinators facilitate communication between prescriber, counselor, patient & provider routine support to patients.
- Care facility staff handles billing and other forms of paperwork.
