Erin Has a Powerful Tool in Her Recovery: MOUD

MOUD, or medication for opioid use disorder (OUD), is an effective, clinically proven treatment to help people in their recovery.

A job she loves, a healthy relationship, her children, her family, her independence – Erin is four years into her recovery, supported by medication for opioid use disorder, or MOUD. "I'm truly grateful to be where I am," Erin says. "Ever since I've been on medication, I've been able to hold down a job, and I've just been a better person overall. That's why I chose medication." Medications are treatment tools for other diseases; substance use disorder should not be treated differently.
