PC14 - The Power of Connection: Medications for Opioid Use Disorder in the Age of Fentanyl

Sunday, May 19, 2024
1:00 PM – 4:00 PM PST
Location: Willshire Ballroom
CE: 3.0
Presentation Summary: The Opioid Treatment Induction Support Team (OTIS) was developed as a response to the changing outcomes within an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) in this complex age of fentanyl. It is designed to support individuals through the initial induction with targets of medication compliance and retention. The support comes from assigned nurses and Peer Recovery Support Specialists, who are a part of their “OTIS Team”. This program has shown remarkable results and appears to be financially sustainable. If you are looking for a program to help fentanyl using patients in an OTP, please attend.
