Foundational Fridays – Drug Treatment and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) 101
This 2-hour webinar is a part of our Foundational Fridays Series taking place every Friday from noon – 2pm from February 2021 – April 2021. This webinar focuses on the basics of Drug Treatment and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). We will review basic information about drug treatments with a focus on MOUD such as buprenorphine and methadone. Webinar participants will learn how to engage with program participants about their drug use and to educate people on the potential treatments so they can make an informed decision.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain how medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) like methadone or buprenorphine is used for treatment of opioid addiction.
- Use the Stages of Change to help figure out if someone is ready for substance use treatment.
