Medication-assisted treatment is the most effective way to help you end opioid dependence and stay opioid-free.
How It Works
When you join our Medications for Substance Use Disorder (MSUD) program, you get more than medications. We provide:
- One-on-one counseling designed for your specific situation
- Peer support to help you control your opioid use and triggers
- Medical supervision to keep you on track and optimize your treatment
This is an evidence-based treatment that's providing results in other states, and is now available for Mississippians through our county health departments.

- Increase your ability to get a job and do well in it.
- Have a healthier baby if you are pregnant.
- Help you stay in treatment to reach your goals.
