We are delighted to invite you to the upcoming conference, “Liberating Methadone: Building a Roadmap and Community for Change.” The conference will be hosted by the NYU Center for Opioid Epidemiology in New York City on September 21st and 22nd of 2023. We are excited to be partnering with community groups including the National Survivors Union and National Coalition to Liberate Methadone to deliver this conference.
This conference aims to bring together members from various backgrounds to discuss and exchange ideas on how to improve access to and use of methadone to reduce the harms of opioid use. Our goal is to break down traditional barriers between researchers, clinicians, policy makers and people who use drugs and to create a shared space for collective understanding. Conference proceedings will be gathered to generate a report with actionable recommendations for policy and clinical practice.
This two day conference can be attended in person or virtually via a webinar.
