Course Description

Families play in important role in the treatment of their loved one – their partner, their teen or young adult, their spouse, their family member. Education is key to learning about medication assisted treatment (MAT) and treatment options for opioid use disorder. Learning about MAT and treatment services empowers the family with facts, and can help individuals advocate for the needs of your family member and loved one. Family members may help by motivating their loved one to enter and stay in treatment, providing financial support transportation to treatment, ensuring a safe living environment, helping your loved one to get to recovery support meetings, and to avoid or overcome relapses.

While I typically don't get an opportunity to speak with family members of the participants in my programs this information is great to share and it gives me so much information to help me to appear knowledgeable with my participants when they have questions about MAT. Thank you so much.
