Innovative Approaches to Opioid Use Disorder Management in the Fentanyl Era

April 17, 3:00–5:00 PM (panel), followed by a social hour (drinks and snacks will be provided!)

In this event, co-sponsored by MATRIX-N and the DMCBH, leading experts will explore emerging solutions, from novel therapeutics and withdrawal management strategies to patient-centered research and cross-sector collaboration. Together, they will examine how the realities of the fentanyl era are reshaping treatment paradigms, exposing critical gaps in translation from research to practice, and challenging us to design more effective, scalable interventions to drive innovation and improve patient outcomes.
