During this roundtable discussion, participants will first analyze their unconscious biases in relation to addiction and medication-assisted treatment, and then apply that knowledge as they learn skills to connect with those who are addicted. Participants will learn about and practice four therapeutic interventions: 1) supportive confrontation about suspected drug dependency, 2) reacting to lapses and relapses, 3) harm reduction measures, and 4) education and stigma reduction.
