Supporting Recovery Through Science

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders. Our comprehensive testing services support MAT programs by providing accurate monitoring of treatment compliance and detecting potential substance use.

MAT has been shown to improve patient survival, increase retention in treatment, decrease illicit opioid use, and reduce the risk of infectious disease transmission. Our testing services help ensure the safety and effectiveness of these life-saving treatments.

We understand the sensitive nature of addiction treatment and provide confidential, accurate testing with rapid turnaround times to support both patients and providers in the recovery process.
