In this webinar, Dr. Yngvild Olsen, director of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), will access the framework for data-informed decision-making between public health and public safety that enhances relationship-building and collaboration to reduce overdose deaths and harms associated with substance misuse. This session will highlight the benefits of medicated-assisted treatment (MAT) as an evidence-based modality in sustaining recovery from opioid misuse while de-stigmatizing MAT and reappraising it as a lifesaving approach to building stronger and more supportive communities.
