The Co-Occurring Behavioral Health, Opioid and Stimulant Use Disorders ECHO Series (COBH) ECHO is a virtual learning network focused on the establishment of a multi-disciplinary community of practice that will help to reduce unmet treatment needs and opioid-related overdose deaths in Alaska and increase the knowledge of FDA-approved medications for the treatment of co-occurring and substance use disorders including opioid use disorder and stimulant misuse and use disorders, including for cocaine and methamphetamine. This ECHO is a strategy to bridge the gaps in the continuum of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery support services.
This ECHO series will begin January 4th and run until June 6th, 2024. The 12 sessions will be held at 12pm – 1pm every other Thursday of the month.
