MAT Engagement Map

The Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) programme team provides direct support to help Alcohol and Drug Partnerships (ADPs) implement the ten MAT standards.

The information below shows the work that we are doing with ADPs.

The support provided is presented in 4 stages:

Engagement (Initial discussions and project scoping underway)
QI project Agreed (a QI charter submitted to the MAT team)
QI Project Complete (and has been written up and disseminated e.g. as a poster or blog)
Consolidation (where learning is being embedded into routine services)

A summary is given by ADP and for each of the 10 standards.

The information does not show

ADPs progress against the standards
the other work that ADPs are doing

To support consistent delivery of the standards across Scotland we are also keen to share practice and learn from ADP’s existing work. If you would like to share examples of your work please contact us by email: [email protected]
