Medications in Treatment

Tuesday, October 26, 2021 - 08:30 AM - 03:00 PM


• Medications to support recovery from opioid use disorders are critical tools in effective
evidence-based addiction treatment, yet their outcomes are less than optimal because of the
lack of psychosocial support typically offered to patients. Medication initiation, adherence
and persistence benefit from behavioral interventions to help patients build motivation, set
goals, manage expectations, effectively communicate with their support team, overcome
obstacles to staying on track and celebrate successes along the way. This training offers an
overview of the role that approved medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) play in the
“whole-person” approach to treatment and recovery with a strong emphasis on specific
science-based behavioral skills that are useful as part of comprehensive medication-assisted
recovery.


• All participants receive an electronic copy of an in-depth training journal to guide the
training experience and as a resource for continuing skill application, as part of the training
