Advocates for Recovery through Medicine (ARM-ME)is a national non-profit volunteer run network made up of advocates who fight for the fair treatment of people who utilize Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) in their recovery from addiction. The most common forms of MAT are the medications methadone, buprenorphine (Subutex and Suboxone) and Vivitrol (naltrexone). Being a person with an addiction isn’t easy, and being a MAT patient is even harder! The myths and prejudice that surround this form of treatment affect patients at their jobs, with probation and law enforcement officers, judges, health-care providers, landlords and even with their own family and friends. ARM-ME is dedicated to fighting discrimination and improving treatment!
