The Ohio Opiate Prescriber Mentor ECHO Program was a cycle of 12 foundational topics that contribute to a knowledgeable caring MOUD practice. This program reviewed the following topics:

Philosophy of Care: Harm-Reduction vs. Abstinence-Only in MOUD Practice
Motivational Interviewing
Formulations of Buprenorphine
Decreasing Stigma and Increasing Support for MOUD
Patient Selection for MOUD Success
Adjunctive Medications and MOUD
Addressing Common Mental Health Concerns in MOUD patients
Office Practices for MOUD Success
Diversion of Buprenorphine
Understanding Federal and State Regulation of MOUD
Unexpected Results in Drug Testing
Methadone and XR-Naltrexone in MOUD Treatment

 

Discussion centered around these topics and provided by participants who know the science but are learning and sharing the art of MOUD patient recovery.
