The opioid use epidemic remains a significant public health challenge in the United States. The DEA MATE Act requires clinicians to be knowledgeable in the prescribing and management of opioid use disorder (OUD), yet many treating teams continue to face challenges balancing chronic pain management, preventing opioid over‑prescription, and addressing illicit opioid use. This educational activity addresses gaps in recognizing OUD and withdrawal, applying person‑first language, and accessing evidence‑based treatments, including pharmacologic and psychotherapeutic approaches. Learners will also gain skills to identify barriers to medication access and appropriately refer patients for outpatient care, supporting the effective initiation and maintenance of OUD treatment.
