Webinar Description: Despite significant evidence of their effectiveness and efficacy, individuals across the country are still facing barriers to care associated with the stigma surrounding medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). One recent peer-reviewed study found that of 360 facilities supporting individuals with opioid-related needs, one fourth were unwilling to serve individuals receiving MOUD (Kepple et al., 2019). For those seeking recovery housing, this unwillingness can mean choosing between their life-saving medications and a safe, supportive place to live.

Join us on July 8th from 1-2pm ET, for our PCSS-MOUD Webinar: MOUD in Recovery Housing: An Exemplary Case Study of Implementing Holistic Care in Indiana, as we hear from Progress House in Indiana about their journey towards embracing access to evidence-based medication treatment for OUD in a recovery housing setting.

Educational Objectives:

• Define OUD treatment stigma and describe how it impacts opportunities for recovery from OUD.
• List the spectrum of recovery residences and the key components of each level.
• Demonstrate ways that providers can prevent MOUD diversion.
• Explain the steps to creating a recovery house culture supportive of MOUD.
