Medication-assisted therapy (MAT) can be a successful treatment plan for people suffering alcohol or drug addiction. The therapy, however, need the guidance of a knowledgeable, sympathetic individual. An alcohol or drug abuse nurse can act as this guide, assisting patients in navigating the emotional and physical challenges that come with the healing process. Additionally, it can give the knowledge and abilities required to implement treatment plans like medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which combines behavioural therapy with medicine to address substance use problems. Nurses who specialise in substance misuse need to have a variety of established abilities. Working well with doctors, therapists, and other professionals who have a part in drug misuse treatment is crucial for nurses since it is a joint endeavour.
