Integrating MAUD Into Residential Treatment

Join the Providers Clinical Support System – Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder (PCSS-MAUD) and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing on Thursday, Sept. 25, 1-2 p.m. ET, for Integrating MAUD into Residential Treatment.

In this webinar, we’ll explore the underuse of MAUD in residential treatment settings. We’ll also discuss how residential treatment programs can integrate MAUD into their care models to reduce recurrence of use, encourage treatment retention and support better health outcomes. Attendees will learn from a respected addiction psychotherapist with expertise in integrated behavioral health before diving into a brief discussion using case examples.

According to the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, among the 27.9 million people aged 12 or older who had alcohol use disorder in the past year, only 2.5% of them received MAUD, even though it has been shown to decrease drinking and the harms associated with alcohol use. Despite its efficacy, MAUD is markedly underused in both substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health/substance use treatment programs. In fact, fewer than 45% of these programs provide MAUD, demonstrating a major opportunity to integrate MAUD into substance use treatment, particularly in residential settings.

Educational Objectives:

• Analyze why MAUD may be underused in residential treatment facilities.
• Explore practical ways to incorporate and prioritize MAUD in residential treatment.
• Examine case scenarios and discuss opportunities to emphasize the benefits of MAUD within residential treatment settings.

Presenter:

• Ian McLoone, LPCC, LADC,President/CEO and Cofounder of Expanse; Community Faculty at University of Minnesota and Metropolitan State University
