Between 1991 and 2012, the rate of non-medical use of opioids by youth and their rate of OUD more than doubled. Get a background on OUD and youth, an overview of different medications for addiction treatment, and considerations for treating adolescents. This is an introductory workshop and no previous knowledge of OUD or MAT is necessary. It also provides an overview of Naloxone, a life-saving medication that reverses opioid overdose.
