SAMHSA: Substance Use Disorder 101

-

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is hosting Substance Use Disorder 101, a webinar designed to provide foundational knowledge about substance use disorders (SUDs), what they are, their risk factors, and how they develop. The speakers will also lay the foundation for why treatments, including medications and other services, are effective and important for helping people manage SUDs.

This webinar is part of SAMHSA’s first national Substance Use Disorder Treatment Month – a time to raise awareness of the benefits and availability of evidence-based treatments for people with a substance use disorder; address barriers to treatment, including stigma; and normalize seeking help.
