PCSS Core Curriculum

PCSS-O clinical experts have created a comprehensive course on opioid prescribing for primary care providers in the essential evidence-based clinical practices in treating chronic pain—with or without medications.


MAT Waiver Training

Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) of Substance Use Disorders involves a combination of a medications that targets the brain, and psychosocial interventions (e.g., counseling, skills development) aimed at improving treatment outcomes. Research shows that medications and therapy together may be more successful than either treatment method alone.


Videos

PCSS has developed a library of videos that can be useful in your practice and to share with your patients.
