Medication Assisted Treatment: A Patient’s Journey to Recovery

This video is a discussion about how opioid use disorder (OUD) affected a patient’s life through pregnancy and how she was able to overcome opioid dependency with the help of medically assisted treatment (MAT). The discussion describes her path from using prescription opioids to opioid use disorder. The patient shares how MAT has impacted not only her life, but those around her, and the barriers she overcame to regain her wellbeing, as well as her family’s.

Eat, Sleep, Console Approach

Various techniques for determining the level of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions have been used over the last 20 years. The presenter discusses current screening and treatment trends and how the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) approach is used to potentially reduce the need for pharmacologic treatment and may reduce the length of stay in Opioid Exposed Newborns (OEN) and Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS)/Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) infants.
