Sustaining Recovery for Patients on MOUD

Alternatives to Opioids (ALTO), peer support, NA meetings, counseling, and use of technologies

Two Part Series

Part 1: Friday, April 12, 2024 (Past Session)

Part 1 Materials

PowerPoint Presentation

Event Recording

Part 1 Speakers

• Dr. Ryan Sarver, MD, FAAFP, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine for Indiana University School of Medicine
• Heather Brandt, Manager, North Dakota Behavioral Health Community Supports
• Jake Reuter, North Dakota Health and Human Services, Administrator
• Lindsay Sarver, Community Health Improvement Strategist

Part 2: Friday, May 10, 2024

Patients with pain should receive treatment that provides the greatest benefit. Opioids are not the first-line therapy for chronic pain outside of active cancer treatment, palliative care, and end-of-life care. Evidence suggests that nonopioid treatments, including nonopioid medications and nonpharmacological therapies can provide relief to those suffering from chronic pain, and are safer. Patients receiving MOUD must be able to receive concomitantly counseling, along with medical, vocational, educational, and other assessment and treatment services. Providing a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders can be challenging. This 2-part webinar will present federal, state, and local solutions to ensure a path to sustain recovery. Guest speakers will also share ideas on how to expand and strengthen the community response to the benefit of people with opioid use disorders and the entire community.

Who should attend? All providers and stakeholders are welcome.
