About the Website

This website provides resources and information related to the four MAT Expansion Project initiatives operated by Health Management Associates.

California MAT Expansion

The California MAT Expansion project supports approximately 30 initiatives with the goals of increasing access to medication assisted treatment (MAT), reducing unmet treatment need, and reducing opioid overdose deaths through prevention, treatment, and recovery services.
