2023 has brought with it a shift in the SUD policy landscape. With a divided Congress -- one that is in a relationship with the White House that is acrimonious at best -- it is not clear what can be accomplished or how.
We are still making progress in some areas, mostly due to action by executive agencies. Yet challenges remain, and how we navigate them will determine how successful our efforts will be. This webinar will examine policies that impact workforce, medication assisted treatment, telehealth, harm reduction, and other important priorities.
