Schottland. SDF study benchmarks progress towards MAT implementation

Schottland. SDF study benchmarks progress towards MAT implementation

The living experience of people in medication assisted treatment (MAT) has been surveyed by a team of thirteen researchers at Scottish Drugs Forum.  The researchers all have their own lived experience of problem substance use and six are currently in medication assisted treatment. This peer approach means that people interviewed for this study were able to give full and frank answer to questions about accessing MAT; the relationship they have with the service as indicated by, among other things, their access to informed choice of medication and dose; assistance they have sought and received.
