Medically Assisted Treatment (MAT) for Pregnant and Post Pregnant Women Training

This workshop will provide opportunities to develop a process by which early identification, prompt referrals to care, use of integrated care models, access to needed services and supports are implemented to combat the current opioid overdose epidemic in Louisiana. Clinicians from TANF and other residential treatment facilities throughout the state will develop a knowledge base to effectively treat this population of focus. The overarching goal is to improve outcomes for mothers and their babies by dispelling myths about opioid use disorders (OUD), the use of medication assisted treatment, reducing the associated stigma and advocating for policy changes at all levels. 

This workshop will award 3.0 CE clock hours from professional counselors.  Even though LCA is an NBC ACEP, this workshop doe not award NBCC credits through LCA.
