The opioid use epidemic has been on the forefront of societal concerns in the US. With the DEA-MATE act, all providers have to be able to adeptly prescribe and manage Opioid Use Disorder and related issues, which have proliferated. Treating teams face multiple challenges including need to treat chronic pain, over prescription of opioids and need for effective alternatives, and illicit use of opioids. The focus of this conference is pharmacological, psychotherapeutic treatments of OUD along with overviews of impact on families and children. We are proud to involve multiple community organizations that provide substance use treatments so attendees can have a comprehensive view of how to get patients effective OUD treatments in and out of the medical system. A main goal for the attendees is to be empowered and confident to initiate and/or maintain treatments for OUD.

This conference will help attendees earn the education credits in pain management and the prescription of opioids needed for the DEA-MATE act.
