Presentation Summary: This presentation, “Cultivating Strategic Partnerships in Long-Term Care: Innovative, Evidence-Based Interventions for OUD and MAT in an Aging Population,” explores how addiction medicine professionals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs) can address the unique needs of aging patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). The session highlights evidence-based strategies to facilitate Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) access, develop clinical and operational protocols, enhance provider knowledge, reduce stigma, and coordinate transitions from hospital to LTCFs. Designed for interdisciplinary cross-continuum providers—including clinicians, nurses, opioid treatment programs, and administrators—this session offers practical, interactive discussions and a thought-provoking case study.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:
  • Articulate and promote the facilitation of Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) access in long-term care facilities.
  • Coordinate transitions of care from hospital or community to long-term care facilities, encouraging connections with opioid treatment programs.
  • Develop clinical and operational protocols to partner opioid treatment programs with long-term facilities.
