2022 Texas Substance Use Symposium Plenary ProgramCommunities Collaborating for Positive ChangeThese Opioid Training Initiative modules are recordings from the 2022 Texas Substance Use Symposium (TxSUS), held in Corpus Christi, Texas in March of 2022. These plenary modules were developed to promote community collaborations that invoke positive change and reduce substance use deaths in Texas. TxSUS represents a unique opportunity to bring together health care providers, law enforcement, behavioral health professionals and peer recovery specialists, to collaboratively identify local substance use challenges and to develop solutions that will address this public health concern. These modules will review public health and evidence-based approaches to treatment, innovative reform for law enforcement, development of creative treatment environments, and the incorporation of harm reduction practices.
The information in this course has been specifically tailored to meet the needs of clinicians practicing in Texas with a focus on regional trends, laws and regulations.
