An-Pyng Sun (Social Work) and Tracy Liu (University of Maryland, School of Medicine) recently delivered a 90-minute presentation titled “Enhancing Knowledge of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder among Social Workers and Counselors” at the 2026 National Association of Social Workers (NASW) National Conference in Washington, D.C. Their session covered three key areas: (1) understanding the nature, benefits, and risks of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), (2) integrating MOUD with psychosocial treatments, and (3) supporting special client populations (including pregnant women, incarcerated individuals, and adolescents and young adults) by applying both approaches.
