MAT(medical-assisted treatment) is the latest cultivated buzz word in politics to address the opioid crisis in America. The up and coming cure all for the opioid crisis apparent so to speak.

A program that shows MAT success will receive the government dollars as fertilizer to seed the rest of the nation with MAT and produce massive demand for specified MAT prescription drugs.

Almost nobody is talking about demand reduction and supply reduction of heroin/fentanyl and that should be the clue as to where the political narrative will take us. Without the problem there would be no clammor for a cure.

The question is who is benefitting financially for the mere existence of the opioid crisis? Yes, we really need to know that.
