This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original research on the impact of the opioid intervention court (OIC) as an alternative to traditional treatment courts for people with OUD who are involved with the criminal-legal system and at high risk of overdose. The OICs more rapidly link court participants to treatment in comparison to traditional drug courts. As the time between arrest and post-arraignment drug court entry is one of high risk and may suspend access to treatment for OUD, OICs may demonstrate improved ability to immediately stabilize and reduce overdose risk in court participants.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents a scoping review on the efficacy of GLP-1 agonists in the treatment of patients with substance use disorder. While there is interest in exploring the use of GLP-1 agonists in the treatment of SUD, evidence for safety and efficacy of GLP-1 agonists in humans is limited. The results of this scoping review are mixed, and the authors call for further research to determine the efficacy of GLP-1 agonists in treating SUD.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents a scoping review on the prevalence of high-potency synthetic opioids (HPSOs) in the nonmedical drug supply and their interactions with medications for opioid use disorder (MOUDs). The interactions between HPSOs and MOUDs are not yet well understood. This review examines the relationship between HPSO exposure and patient outcomes when using common MOUD treatment protocols. It also discusses the implications for clinical practice and suggests directions for future research based on the current research on patient populations impacted by HPSOs.

Implementing The ASAM Criteria 4th Edition in Utilization Management Course is a 5-hour fully online course designed to designed to help managed behavioral health organizations (MBHO) and managed care payers to develop a holistic understanding of The ASAM Criteria and their role in constructing a full range of services for patients with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring disorders.

This one-hour, on-demand, journal article-based activity presents original research on models that support successful transitions to long-term medical and substance use disorder (SUD) care for hospitalized patients with SUD. Using an expert consensus approach, existing SUD care transition models were evaluated for effectiveness and implementation with an analysis of factors associated with the greatest potential to enhance posthospitalization care transitions. According to the expert panelists, the 
models considered to have the greatest potential to enhance posthospitalization SUD care transitions were the interdisciplinary addiction consult team (ACT), in-reach from partnering outpatient clinics, and bridge clinics.
