Description:

In this lecture, I will cover the role that access to evidence-based treatment for opioid use disorder, especially medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), play in the current opioid overdose crisis in the United States. I will highlight the data that supports their use, barriers to real-world access to these medications, and some potential clinical and policy approaches to increase access to MOUD.

Learning objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar, attendees should be able to:
  • Describe the evidence supporting the use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), specifically methadone and buprenorphine, for the treatment of opioid use disorder.
  • Explain the association that access to MOUD has with individual risk of overdose.
  • Evaluate the impact of different barriers and facilitators at the individual, clinical, and systemic level to improving access to MOUD.
  • Outline several strategies at clinical and systemic level that may improve access to MOUD and reduce opioid overdose risk.
