Ask the Doc: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder
Webinar
-
Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) are evidence-based and effective. However, many individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) lack convenient access to treatment.
The landscape is evolving to address this challenge. Join this virtual session with addiction medicine providers to learn more and ask your questions.
This Ask the Doc event is part of our broader Community Conversations on OUD initiative.
The goal of this project is to shed light on substance use disorder-related stigma as a barrier to recovery and collaborate with rural communities on local solutions.
