Presentation Summary: This presentation will serve as a “primer” on the world of licensed opioid treatment programs for professionals and community stakeholders attending the AATOD Conference. In keeping with AATOD’s theme of “so much more than medication”, participants will understand key terms, concepts, parameters and issues necessary to understand how to best collaborate with OTPs in their own communities - especially in grasping how the programmatic aspects of an OTP work with the medications being utilized to promote recovery.
