As part of the State Targeted Response/CURES grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) sponsored the development of a 23-part online curricula focusing on the nature of addiction and its impact, as well as treatment and best practices for treating opioid use disorder in a variety of settings.
Courses highlight evidence-based practices for utilizing medication assisted treatment and provide medical setting specific protocols.
Each course is approximately one hour in length and serves as a standalone module that can be taken in conjunction with the full series. As a whole, the series is intended to provide general education about addiction, while also offering discipline specific information for a large variety of systems that encounter individuals with an opioid use disorder.
Additional details, including the full course list can be found on the OhioMHAS website. The courses can be accessed on the e-based academy.
