This four-session online case-based learning collaborative series is designed for healthcare professionals treating individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). Each 1.5-hour live, virtual session will feature an educational presentation on OUD and real-world case discussions led by addiction experts, providing practical insights and actionable strategies to improve patient care. Participants will explore best practices, discuss challenges, and collaborate on solutions in an engaging, interactive format.
Many cities, and especially cities with high real estate prices, have clearly defined zones in which public drug use and sales are implicitly tolerated while more stringent enforcement continues everywhere else. Given that addiction services (like methadone clinics or residential programs) are often mobilized to serve these zones and/or deliberately segregated to remain within them–what should our relationship to these zones be as addiction care providers? The podcast will explore the challenges, problems, and opportunities these zones can create for people who use drugs and the providers who care for them.
