Presentation Summary: AATOD’s Legislative Advocacy Committee will present a session to aid stakeholders in understanding the current policy and regulatory climate, including changes that have occurred since the last conference. Across the nation there are efforts to increase access to opioid use disorder treatment to combat the opioid overdose crisis. AATOD has worked for decades on regulatory, legislative, and funding improvements to increase access to evidence-based treatment, in safe and effective ways backed by science. In this session participants will be informed of the current policy issues facing the treatment field and proposals for innovation and modernization in the context of growing calls for methadone and regulatory reform. Our goal is to energize and activate additional advocates among conference participants and teach them to advocate for evidence-based policies to increase access to opioid treatment.

Learning Objectives:

At the completion of this activity, participants will:
  • Explain the current legislative and regulatory policy landscape and proposals to reform opioid treatment in the U.S.
  • Recall AATOD’s position on various policy proposals.
  • Apply the information to practice and take part in advocacy efforts.
