Matthew Bossier

Matthew Bossier — known to his family and friends simply as "MAT" — is the heart and soul behind Mat's Clinic. He passed away from an opioid overdose on November 22nd, 2008, at just 27 years old.

Like so many people struggling with addiction, Matthew came from a loving family who desperately tried to help him on his journey. His family watched, fought, prayed, and loved him through every step — and still, the disease of addiction claimed his life far too soon.

Matthew's brother, Todd Bossier, became a Nurse Practitioner and founded Mat's Clinic in his memory. The name "MAT" carries a double meaning — it stands for Medication-Assisted Treatment, the evidence-based approach at the core of what we do, and it stands for Matthew himself.

"Whether we realize it or not, we are all living inside of our own story. People who suffer from addiction get physically and emotionally stuck playing the victim of their life story. Let us help you start a new life. Let us help you rewrite your own story and get the life you deserve."

Every patient who walks through our (virtual) doors carries a story. Every provider at Mat's Clinic shows up because of Matthew — because we know what it feels like to lose someone to this disease, and because we refuse to let that happen to anyone else if we can help it.

If you are struggling, please know: you are not alone, you are not a lost cause, and there is a team of people here who genuinely give a damn about your life. Matthew's story doesn't have to be yours.
