Building Support For Rural Opioid Treatment
Join Mike Broman, PhD; Assistant Professor, The Ohio State University College of Social Work on Wednesday March 27th at 12:30pm as he discusses Building Support For Rural Opioid Treatment. Methadone treatment for opioid use disorder is backed by a strong evidence base. It is more likely to result in sustained abstinence and lower risk of overdose death than non-medication approaches. Yet, people who utilize methadone treatment often face stigma and misunderstanding from family, friends, and associates. In turn, social support, a key component of recovery from any substance use disorder, is inhibited. In this seminar, Dr. Broman will discuss these issues in depth, leaving attendees with strategies for increasing social support among rural people who engage in evidence-based treatment.
