Description

Wednesday June 14, 2023, from 8 am to 4:10 pm at Maple Hill Farm Inn and Conference Center The addition of fentanyl to the nation’s drug supply has dramatically escalated overdose deaths and required providers to urgently “step up” our collective efforts to treat SUD & OUD – requiring compassion, commitment, and innovation. This conference provides prescribers and their multi-professional teams the opportunity to hear from national speakers and their colleagues and explore innovative strategies to advance our treatment efforts. Join us to hear advances on the latest in practices to initiate buprenorphine and its new formulations, create contingency management programs to address stimulant use, implement peer services, partner with corrections, and more. Join your colleagues to explore how we can together step it up – it’s about saving lives.
