Iteration 3
(2023 – 2024)
The program team is building upon their previous work by continuing to provide training and technical assistance for LTC facilities caring for residents with opioid use disorder (OUD) and administering and expanding the self-paced online training developed in the second iteration of the program.
They are also developing and convening new quarterly webinars to address questions and needs identified by working with facilities over the years, as well as a recent bi-annual in-person summit to provide educational and networking opportunities to LTC facilities, connecting them with their peers, governmental agencies, and community resources such as Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) and Office-Based Addiction Treatment (OBAT) programs.
The presentations from this bi-annual summit and the webinars will be available on this page as video recordings. In this iteration, the team will also incorporate knowledge and best practices around managing polysubstance use, including alcohol use disorders.
