We are well aware that trainings are being canceled or postponed during this health emergency situation which may result in difficulties recertifying credentials on or before expiration dates. You have up to one year beyond your expiration date to recertify your credential so there is no need to request an extension or waiver.  Further, DCB will waive the extra lapsed fee for any certified professional who is late recertifying their credential.  When you are able, you will simply recertify as normal. Your current expiration date cannot be extended so your credential will lapse if you are unable to recertify on or before the expiration date.  However, you can still recertify your lapsed credential up to one year beyond your expiration date. You may use online trainings for some or all of your recertification hours.

This 3-hour training will look at the current proliferation of opiates in society as both a cause and a symptom. The implications for clinical as well as recovery support are explored as well as the variety of interventions that show efficacy in the accomplishment of long-term recovery.

At the conclusion of this training, the participants will be able to:

1. Describe opiate use disorder ramifications from both individual and social perspectives.
2. Define harm reduction as a philosophical strategy in addressing opiate abuse.
3. Provide examples of pandemic-specific concerns in meeting the needs of individuals seeking treatment for an opiate use disorder.
4. List the complicating factors of fentanyl as an additive risk component for persons using opiates.
5. Talk about the positive and negative aspects of medication assisted treatment for opiate use disorders.
