Event Details

Join the Overdose Prevention Engagement Network (OPEN) and Dr. Eliza Hutchinson and Dr. Chris Frank for this one-hour webinar discussing treatment, stigma, and collaboration around opioid use disorder.

Patients who experienced a pharmacy-related problem had nearly nine times the odds of using nonprescribed buprenorphine, most often to prevent withdrawal, reduce cravings, or maintain abstinence. Learn about barriers around OUD that can delay or interrupt treatment, how to effectively use person-centered, non-stigmatizing language; recognize how stigma and implicit bias may influence communication and dispensing decisions; and apply controlled-substance requirements consistently and appropriately. 

This one-hour live webinar is provided complimentary to members of MPA through a grant with OPEN.
