The goal of NAADAC's Life-Long Learning Series Innovations
in Opioid Treatment: Buprenorphine is to bring
together addiction professionals from many backgrounds
to discuss medication-assisted treatment in a way that
challenges ideas and perceptions and to present unbiased
information that can be used to assess
the best possible
treatment for clients.
This educational program will discuss the four facets of
opioid dependence and addiction (biological, psychological,
social and spiritual), addiction as a disease and the
scientific
evidence to support this claim, three FDA-approved
medications for opioid dependence, applying
strategies to match clients to the most appropriate therapy,
methods of motivating clients in opioid dependence treatment
and building cooperative relationships between
addiction
professionals and prescribers.
