Physical Healing through Medication Assisted Treatment
Join us for an engaging session with the Catawba Nation as we explore how physical healing can be supported through Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), an evidence-based approach to treating addiction that combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies. This session will provide a holistic perspective, grounded in traditional teachings and clinical best practices, to help participants better understand, implement, and support MAT in their Tribal Nations.
When: January 29 at 11:30 am – 12:30 pm Central/12:30 pm – 1:30 pm Eastern
Who should attend: Public health officials, counselors, psychiatrists, social workers, clinicians, service providers, clinical administration staff, Tribal leaders, and others with interest.
Learning objectives:
- The use of cultural practices to restore balance and support physical recovery from Opioid Use Disorder.
- The principles and practices of Medication Assisted Treatment.
- Common barriers to MAT access and strategies to overcome them.
- Practical steps for offering MAT services effectively within diverse care settings.
