Did you know that treating opioid use disorder (OUD) in transition-age adults is particularly challenging? A new study looks at the quality of OUD treatment in this population. Kudos to Constance Burke, Shazia Hussain, Patricia Lincourt, Ashly E Jordan, PhD, MPH, and Maria L. Morris-Groves for their collaborative work on this research with individuals from NYU Grossman School of Medicine. This incredible achievement is a testament to the impactful partnership between NYU and OASAS, and it has the potential to significantly improve the lives of young people across the entire state and nationwide!

Discover how scholarships are transforming addiction services in New York State. Join us for our latest podcast episode as OASAS Project Manager Sophia Favelus explains the purpose of the Addiction Professionals Scholarship Program and its recent expansion to 15 SUNY and CUNY Community Colleges. 🎙🎧 Tune in to “Degree for Free: Millions Available through NYS Addiction Care Scholarship” on our website or wherever you get your podcasts. https://lnkd.in/eAb375gR #AddictionTheNextStep #EveryStepOfTheWay Video description: Two people sit indoors at a table, talking into microphones while wearing headphones. The logo for "Addiction: The Next Step" is displayed with a purple banner. Podcast host Jerry Gretzinger says “And so we talk about some of these different programs, the different position titles. You talk about the workforce crisis and so the positions that we're trying to help people study for and then eventually move into professionally, these are critical service delivery roles. These are people who are definitely making a difference for people, New Yorkers, around the state, and we want to continue making sure that there are an ample number of people doing those jobs." Guest Sophia Favelus says, "Yes, definitely, and we think that with the associate degree program, it's adding a new pathway to develop new workers and actually to retain the current workers existing in our workforce.”
