Webinar Description: Rural communities face unique barriers in accessing effective treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD), including limited provider availability, stigma, and geographic isolation. This webinar will explore how medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) can be delivered in rural settings through a combination of clinical innovation, community collaboration, and policy advocacy. Participants will explore examples of how integrated clinical services and medical intervention can improve overall treatment outcomes. The presentation will also emphasize the role of addiction professionals in addressing stigma and systemic issues in rural communities. Practical tools, real-world examples, and strategies for engaging rural communities will be shared to help participants advocate for person-centered, recovery-oriented care in their own settings.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will analyze key access barriers to MOUD in rural communities and how these barriers impact engagement and outcomes.
- Participants will identify strategies to integrate clinical services with medical interventions to support recovery-oriented care in rural settings.
- Participants will explore effective strategies to reduce stigma and build trust within rural communities to support engagement in integrated clinical care programs that offer MOUD services.
