The Time for Treating Substance Use Disorder is Now is part of the Treating Addiction in Primary Care series.
Raul Ayala, MD interviews Arianna Campbell, PA-C
Why should family doctors - and all primary care providers - integrate treatment for opioid use disorder (OUD) into our practice? You'll hear first-hand accounts of how medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) enriches practice, relationships with patients, and most importantly, saves lives. We'll identify barriers to beginning MOUD and start you on your way to office based opioid treatment (OBOT).
