MA OBAT ECHO®: Information about Substance Use Disorders and the Americans with Disabilities Act

As part of the twice-monthly MA OBAT ECHO® series, Gregory Dorchak will discuss how federal civil rights statutes protect individuals with substance use disorders and explain how to file complaints or raise issues with violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The didactic will be followed by a de-identified patient case presentation from an ECHO® participant and recommendations from the panel of experts and attendees.

Boston Medical Center's (BMC) 12-part Massachusetts Office Based Addiction Treatment ECHO® (MA OBAT ECHO®) offers training and support in addiction treatment, with a focus on comprehensive care for patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). The free, case-based tele-mentoring program is designed to increase the capacity of primary care teams to integrate addiction treatment using a multidisciplinary care model.
