This collection of tools and resources is for providers, staff, and patients who offer or use services to address substance use, and other interested stakeholders. This collection was originally established following an environmental scan on implementing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder (OUD) in rural primary care. (See PDFs of Volume 1 [PDF 0.69 MB] and Volume 2 [PDF 1.28 MB] of that scan). Items have been continuously added to this collection since then, and the collection has expanded to cover substance use more broadly, rather than just MAT for OUD.
Includes a form nurses can use to note areas that should be covered during a followup visit for patients on buprenorphine treatment.
Includes information on assessment, treatment, and medications available to treat opioid use and overdose. Provides links to find a provider or support group.
Provides a sample treatment agreement that describes the patient's responsibilities as well as the risks and side effects of using opioid medications.
Contains training videos on how to recognize and respond to an overdose and information on naloxone administration, harm reduction education, and resources.
Lists online and in-person trainings for physicians, advanced practice registered nurses (NP/CNM/CNS/CRNA), physician assistants, and medical students and provides an overview of the medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD).
