The disproportionate burden of opioid epidemic among racial/ethnic groups is difficult to discern. This session will highlight substance abuse treatment admissions data to illustrate socio-cultural nuances of opioid abuse and dependence in minority communities. It will present select best clinical practices that could be tailored to provide culturally and linguistically competent early intervention, treatment, recovery and management of opioid use disorders in diverse race/ethnicities. Learnings will be shared from Ohio’s response to opiate epidemic’s impact in Ohio, which follows a combination of prevention, screening/early intervention, and treatment as a comprehensive strategy to address the risks of OUD at all phases.

Learning Objectives:

  • Upon completion, participant will be able to identify the opiates of choice and opioid use disorders among diverse race/ethnicities.
  • Describe best practices for the delivery of culturally and linguistically competent OUD treatment outreach and recovery
  • Discuss culturally-relevant prevention and awareness messaging and programming as well as treatment modalities

As supporters of #MedicationAssistedTreatment, we understand the dangers of allowing methadone – a Schedule II narcotic – to be distributed at local pharmacies.
