Medications for Opioid Use Disorder

Medications for Opioid Use Disorder: A Health Approach to Treatment

With the dramatic increases in overdose deaths since the pandemic, and while practitioners and programs are encouraged to increase access to medications for opioid or alcohol use disorders (MOUD, MAUD), explaining the effective intervention to communities in need has been identified as one of the major challenges of behavioral health.

This interactive dialogue will review the impact of chronic opioid use, cognitive impairment, compulsivity factors, and physical dependence for OUD and AUD. Content will discuss myths associated with medications used to treat OUD and a review of available and effective interventions. The content uses experiential activities that help participants integrate a public health approach to effectively explain MOUD to clients and their families.
