MAT (Medication-Assisted Treatment) is a critical approach in addressing substance use disorders, providing individuals with medications to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This topic is vital in combating the opioid epidemic and supporting those struggling with addiction.

I did it I actually had a cousin die from a overdose in prison so this really means a lot to me..and I just had another cousin pass away Saturday we just had his funeral it was a overdose as well so thank u for ur work
I signed because it’s outrageous that people in Kentucky are being denied access to life-saving treatment! Providing MAT for all inmates isn’t optional—it’s essential to stop overdose deaths. It’s time for Kentucky to step up and do what’s right!
I signed because everyone deserves access to life-saving treatment, and providing MAT for incarcerated individuals is essential to reducing overdose deaths and breaking the cycle of addiction.
I signed because everyone deserves a chance at recovery, even those who are incarcerated. Medication-assisted treatment can save lives and help people struggling with addiction get back on their feet. This is something that needs to happen now! Thank you for bringing this to everybody’s attention.
After losing my cousin to an overdose in 2023 I have had to answer some really tough questions from her youngest child. When he asked me if he could have done something to save her, it broke my heart. He was lucky to not be there when it happened - other children aren't so lucky (if you can really call it luck). They need effective solutions that are simple to use, even though we don't ever want them to have to be "the one" who has to respond. There are endless examples of scenarios like this which means there is no one size fits all or a perfect response. We need whatever options that allow for someone to be able to respond when a person is dying from an overdose. Whether they are a child or an adult, trained or not. Period. People don't need to die because we told them they could only get this tool or that tool when there are a spectrum of options available.
