Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic, relapsing disease. Treatment should be patient-centered and designed with patient input. The evidence-based pharmacologic treatment for OUD is medication combined with psychosocial treatment. One of the barriers in managing patients with OUD is the need for a larger workforce and better communication at points of transition.
This workshop will serve to bring interprofessional healthcare providers together to explore barriers to care and identify solutions.
