Even though evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorders (OUD) is effective, almost four in five Americans with OUD do not receive any form of treatment. The gap in access to evidence-based care, including treatment with medications for OUD, stems in part from barriers to change within the healthcare system. This webinar discusses strategies to increase and improve clinicians’ capacity to provide care for people with OUD and substance use disorder (StUD), increase linkage to care and engagement across various settings, and increase equitable delivery and access to care/services among people who use drugs, as well as those previously underserved by overdose prevention programs.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify at least two (2) evidence-based practices for screening, diagnosis and linkage to care that support longitudinal care for OUD and StUD and/or support recovery.
- Identify at least two (2) evidence-based practices for increasing equitable access to services among PWUD and other underserved populations.
- Describe at least three (3) strategies to decrease stigma related to substance use and overdose
