This course is designed to help people new to recovery guiding understand core principles of buprenorphine treatment and will reinforce your awareness of the benefits of recovery guiding for people seeking care for opioid use disorder. You will learn information regarding OUD prevalence and hear from subject matter experts who will share background on the Better Together community-led intervention and solution that is being pioneered in Washington, D.C., Miami (FL), and Chicago (IL).
Better Together is brought to you by Howard University, University of Miami, and University of Illinois-Chicago, as well as their valued community partners. Better Together is financially supported by the Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) initiative, which is sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
