Integrated MAT for Patients Experiencing Homelessness
Integrated MAT for Patients Experiencing Homelessness
Course Description
Recent research indicates there are approximately half a million people experiencing homelessness. Tragically, homelessness and addiction go hand in hand. The end result of homelessness is often substance abuse, and substance abuse often contributes to homelessness. Helping people experiencing homelessness (PEH) gain access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT) is a continuing challenge, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This on-demand course will address the causes of homelessness and interventions to address it; explain best practices for providing MAT to people who are experiencing homelessness (PEH), including specific strategies that can enhance treatment in settings where treating PEH is not the primary mission of an organization.
You can view the Q&A from this session here.
