NATIONAL ALLIANCE FOR MEDICATION ASSISTED RECOVERY

(NAMA RECOVERY)

The leading advocate and recovery organization for medication assisted treatment, the National Alliance for Medication Assisted Recovery (NAMA Recovery), has developed this training, believing that professionals, patients and families of patients can come together to work for a better understanding of methadone and medication assisted treatment. Previous trainings have shown that participants – both professionals and patients are equally empowered. Therefore we encourage both patients and non-patients to become Certified Medication Assisted Treatment Advocates (CMA). This training is designed for non-clinicians and provides a basic understanding of the physiology of addiction and the use of medications to treat it (i.e. methadone and buprenorphine). Regulations at the federal, state and local levels are explained in simple terms for non-policy makers.

7 hour training and a 1 year membership in NAMA Recovery.
