Opioid and SUD Training and Courses
Overdose Lifeline has worked to develop substance use disorder and opioid training, with the goal of helping individuals, professionals, and businesses better respond to the opioid crisis and engage with and support those affected by substance use disorder.
Opioid and SUD Training and Education
We offer substance use disorder (SUD) and opioid training and continuing education as online self-paced courses, virtual and in-person training, and trainer programs.
While a large portion of the U.S. population is affected by SUD and the opioid crisis, there is limited formal academic and professional education provided to clinicians and professionals providing services to those affected. Our training and course focus on increasing knowledge and competency around the opioid crisis and substance use disorder.
Online Opioid and SUD Training for Continuing Education Credits
Learn how to improve prevention and support services for those impacted by substance use disorder and the opioid crisis, through either the 20-credit certificate program or Continuing Education online courses.
All classes are accredited through Purdue University, College of Pharmacy, Office of Continuing Education, with credits that can be applied to Nursing (ANCC), Pharmacy (ACPE), Physician (ACMME) and other laypersons and healthcare professionals.
Our Law Enforcement CE Credits meet annual in-service training requirements for Indiana Law Enforcement officers and support personnel. Overdose Lifeline is an approved Law Enforcement Training Board training provider (#47-1333720).
