Join us for an engaging webinar that explores the evolving
landscape of Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) and their role in
addressing opioid use disorder in rural communities. This session
begins with a brief introduction to OTPs, followed by a panel
discussion with Region 10 State Opioid Treatment Authorities:
Elana Habib (Alaska); Brandi Clark, MSW (Idaho); John McIlveen
PhD, LMHC (Oregon); and Jessica Blose, SUDP, LMHC, NCC,
CCMHC (Washington). We will discuss OTP federal rule changes,
innovations in service delivery, and efforts to reduce stigma.
Whether you’re a provider, policymaker, or community advocate,
this webinar will help you better understand the challenges and
opportunities for OTPs in rural settings.
