Medication for Addiction Treatment Guide
Despite significant progress in regulations, medications, and treatment approaches, Alaska experienced the nation’s fastestgrowing rate of overdose deaths in 2023. This alarming trend highlights the ongoing need to improve accessibility to MAT. The 3rd Edition of the MAT Guide includes numerous examples of how agencies across Alaska are working to address this issue. Overall, this guide is intended to empower providers to begin or continue offering life-saving medications to our most vulnerable populations.
About The MAT Conference
The 10th Annual MAT Conference will take place virtually from October 13–15, 2026. This year’s theme, “Workforce, Systems, and Sustainability: The Future of MAT in Alaska,” highlights the people, partnerships, and systems needed to strengthen and sustain access to high-quality medications for addiction treatment across Alaska.
As the MAT Conference celebrates its 10th year, the event continues to provide meaningful opportunities to strengthen collaboration and elevate recovery support across Alaska and beyond. Together, participants will explore how Alaska can build on progress, strengthen systems of care, and create a sustainable future where every person, in every community, has the tools and support they need to recover and thrive.
