ReVIDA Recovery® CEO Lee Dilworth was recently featured in Knox News as a guest opinion columnist. In his article, entitled “Health insurance should cover evidence-based opioid use disorder treatment,” Dilworth advocates for the importance of choosing a health insurance plan that prioritizes coverage for evidence-based treatments for mental health and substance use disorders.

He explains that it wasn’t long ago that medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) was a cash-only business, meaning that a majority of people weren’t able to afford it. Within the last few years, the healthcare system has fully-embraced MAT as a viable option for people suffering from OUD.
