This event is for attendees of the Idaho Conference on Alcohol and Drug Dependency only.

Our communities are beset with problems
associated with opioid use disorder (OUD).
Research evidence is clear that medicationassisted
treatment (MAT) is by far the most
effective treatment for OUD. And yet, MAT
is not accessible in many communities. This
presentation will briefly discuss the evidence
basis of the use of MAT for OUD and then
outline steps which could be taken to make
it more accessible to those in need in Idaho
communities.
