A Holistic & Practical Approach for Addressing Opioid Substance Use Disorder-Langenau

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Eric Langedau, a pediatrics professor, introduces a holistic, practical training program on opioid substance use disorder. He explains that medications like buprenorphine are important but not enough alone; care should be interdisciplinary and integrated. The program covers the opioid epidemic, screening, diagnosis, treatment initiation, recovery support, pain management alternatives, OUD medications, clinical practice applications, and community strategies. It also meets the DEA MATE Act’s eight-hour education requirement for DEA licensure and may satisfy state opioid/pain management mandates. Viewers can access recordings, handouts, slides, objectives, and speaker information online.
