MAT Waiver Trainings
North Carolina, like many states in our country, is grappling with increases in opioid use disorder. One promising strategy to address this public health issue included in the North Carolina Opioid Action Plan (https://www.ncdhhs.gov/about/department-initiatives/opioid-epidemic/north-carolinas-opioid-action-plan) is through Medication-Assisted Therapy (more info here: https://www.samhsa.gov/programs-campaigns/medication-assisted-treatment/training-materials-resources). Clinicians who are interested in providing MAT need to receive special training and a waiver from the federal government. As a service to the North Carolina provider community, we have gathered all known DATA 2000 trainings. We do not guarantee the accuracy of the following information, as sessions may be added, moved, full, or cancelled, so please contact the sponsor to confirm the event and/or register. We do our best to keep this list up to date, but if you know of any trainings that should be listed here, please send the information to contactus@schsr.unc.edu.
