  • Discuss the evidence for behavioral counseling as a component of treatment for OUD. Are the current requirements for counseling evidence-based?
  • Identify barriers to the use of specific medications, including any long-term side effects of medications for treating OUD and the perception and stigma of treatment options by patients, providers, the general public, and law enforcement.
