Recorded: Thursday, March 31, 2022 - Sunday, April 3, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference identifies ways for opioid courts and other drug treatment courts to improve access to MOUD.
Opioid treatment courts offer immediate access to medication, as well as intense supervision and support to people with criminal justice involvement. This session focuses on how to promptly identify opiod use disorder (OUD), provide access to services, prescribe medications for treatment of opioid use disorder (MOUD), and engage people in specialty care treatment by sharing lessons from court practitioners and their partners, including recovery support services and peer advocates. While opioid treatment courts save lives, they have also faced barriers. Recent innovations were developed during the COVID-19 pandemic that could make it easier to connect patients to MOUD. These innovations are explored in this session, including how to engage practitioners who prescribe MOUD.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills.
