Implementing MAT in nursing comes with several challenges. These include:
Stigma: Both patients and healthcare providers may face stigma associated with addiction and MAT. Nurses must advocate for patients and work to dispel myths and misconceptions. Compliance: Ensuring patients adhere to their medication regimen can be difficult, especially if they experience side effects or lack support. Resource Limitations: Access to MAT services may be limited by geographic, financial, or organizational factors.
