Target Audience
This webcast was developed for judges—whether presiding over state, municipal, general jurisdiction, treatment/specialty courts and/or whether they are law trained or not.
Webinar Description
Opioid use disorders (OUDs) are associated with criminal behavior, arrest, and incarceration. Effective treatments are needed to reduce the burden of OUDs on public safety and on the public health. Fortunately, there are medications approved for the treatment of opioid dependence. This webinar will focus on the legal and practical implications around the use of medications for OUDs.
Educational Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, learners should be able to:
Recognize the efficacy of medications in the treatment of opiate use disorders (OUD);
Cite the barriers to the use of medications for substance use disorders;
Discuss the constitutional and statutory constraints in blanket prohibitions of medications for OUD;
Describe the practical impact of restraints on medications for OUD; and
Identify effective approaches to the use of medications for OUD that may overcome certain barriers.
