The opioid and substance misuse epidemic and its negative health outcomes have touched almost every American. Community-level partnerships and tailored strategies are critical for supporting our communities and implementing a successful response to this epidemic.

The Addiction Alliance of Georgia, a partnership between Emory Healthcare and Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation, is hosting a free Comprehensive Opioid Response (COR) Symposium on Thursday, November 14th, 2024, at the Emory Conference Center Hotel that will build upon the considerable strengths and existing clinical knowledge in our community to create competent and comprehensive trauma- informed integrated care for opioid use disorders throughout the state of Georgia.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts across clinical, medical, and peer recovery filed through a variety of panel discussions. This year’s symposium will focus on key topics such as: 

• Epidemiology
• Medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD)
• Evidence-based psychosocial therapies
• Peer supported recovery

Together, we will bring hope, healing and the power of recovery to the people in our communities.

This activity has been planned and implemented in accordance with the accreditation requirements and policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) through the joint providership of Emory University School of Medicine, the Addiction Alliance of Georgia and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation.

The Emory University School of Medicine is accredited by the ACCME to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
