About PCSS-MOUD
The Providers Clinical Support System for Medications for Opioid Use Disorders (PCSS-MOUD) is a program funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). It is led by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) in collaboration with a wide coalition of national professional and healthcare organizations. PCSS-MOUD aims to increase the knowledge and skills of healthcare and counseling professionals about available evidence-based treatment approaches for substance use disorder (SUD) with a particular focus on opioid use disorder (OUD). PCSS-MOUD provides free training and mentoring to practitioners on the use of medications for OUD (MOUD) and the integration of these services into mainstream health care.
The overarching goal of PCSS-MOUD is to increase healthcare professionals’ knowledge, skills, and confidence in providing evidence-based practices in the prevention, treatment, and recovery of OUD. PCSS-MOUD expands education and training beyond the prescriber to include multidisciplinary teams, healthcare providers, and clinical health professionals to increase their awareness and how to overcome stigma, racism, and discrimination as they play a role as social drivers of health disparities and barriers to treatment.
