Use of Medication for Addiction Treatment Among Physicians and Pharmacists Monitored for Substance Use Disorder by One State Physician Health Program

This study investigates the use of medication for addiction treatment (MAT) among physicians and pharmacists monitored for substance use disorder by a state physician health program over 30 years. The authors aimed to assess patterns of MAT utilization and its impact on monitoring outcomes, finding that over 70% of participants achieved positive outcomes regardless of MAT use, suggesting that all FDA-approved MAT should be considered for this population when clinically appropriate.
