With a recent four-fold increase in diagnoses of opioid use disorder (OUD), mitigating the impact of the opioid epidemic has become more important than ever. New extended-release formulations of agonists and antagonists MAT (medications for OUD or MOUD) options that only require monthly dosing are now available for treating patients with OUD, but education is essential to ensure that providers are able to help their patients transition safely and effectively from dependence to treatment.
The final episode of the three-part CMEOcast podcast series focuses on applying evidence-based strategies to initiating the use of extended-release MOUD in real-world settings, providing best practices for supporting the recovery process of individuals with OUD.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Apply evidence-based strategies to initiate the use of extended-release medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in real-world settings to support the recovery process of individuals with OUD.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Discuss evidence-based strategies to initiate the use of extended-release medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in real-world settings to support the recovery process of individuals with OUD.
