Even though the roadmap focuses on MAT for opioid use, we recognize that clinical guidelines and measures related to MAT for alcohol and other SUDs could be useful to guide the approach to developing and implementing MAT measures for opioid use. As such, we searched for and reviewed clinical guidelines that include MAT for opioid and alcohol use p
