The Overdose Treatment Access team is excited to announce a training opportunity for Tulane University’s Social Work Students, Faculty, Staff, and community partners. I would like to provide you with a brief overview of our very own Overdose Treatment Access (ODTA) Training Program.

 

The training is offered to persons who fall under one of three categories:

  1. Direct Service Providers
  2. Pharmacy Personnel 
  3. Medical Providers/Prescribers

 

Training covers harm reduction topics including addiction, opioid overdose and response techniques, and the lifesaving medication, naloxone. The presentation also covers Louisiana laws about naloxone, treatment options for opioid use disorder, and a conversation about inclusive language. It’s interactive, and the total time needed to train staff is about two hours.
