Description
This presentation will prepare clinicians and administrators for implementing or improving their buprenorphine medication-assisted outpatient program. Clinicians will explore potential client profiles and learn how to identify appropriate buprenorphine patients. Due to the high rate of co-occurring mental health disorders with opiate use disorder, considerations for that population will be reviewed. Finally, participants will become aware of the value of effective collaboration between therapists and prescribers to create an effective person-centered plan.
Learning Objectives
- Identify appropriate patients for agonist therapy. Identify alerts to potentially inappropriate patients for agonist therapy.
- Understand the benefits of utilizing a patient-centered approach to the treatment of co-occurring disorders.
- Become familiar with collaboration avenues between therapists and prescribing physicians.
