Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

We're committed to supporting the complete care of patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) on their recovery journeys. Our MAT panels are designed to monitor patients on buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone (e.g., Suboxone®, Subutex®, Zubsolv ®). We also offer panels suitable for methadone or naltrexone MAT.

What is medication-assisted treatment?

MAT is the use of medications in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat OUD. Buprenorphine is one of the three drugs currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of OUD.1

With Labcorp’s MAT drug testing portfolio—including three primary panels, individual drug class options and personal customization—you can support patients taking buprenorphine or buprenorphine/naloxone for MAT as they navigate the path to recovery.
