Webinar Description: This webinar will focus on Methadone Treatment as in a historical background beginning in the mid-1960’s through 2021 and discuss how a Methadone Treatment program in Cincinnati has dealt with the many changes in treatment. It will review the changing of treatment from using methadone as a medication replacement therapy to part of a bigger treatment that includes specialized medication, individual counseling, and group therapy. With more potent opioids compared to the early years, it has become a challenge for Opioid Treatment Programs to maintain replacement strong enough to help individuals from becoming a statistic of overdose and possibly death.
Educational Objectives:
- Review and examine changes in opioid treatment during the past 57 years.
- Discuss the relevance and roles of modern day treatment facilities.
