Improving Care Transitions and Expanding Support for Older Adults with Substance Use Disorders in Skilled Nursing Settings- Webinar

When older adults with substance use disorders need post-acute care, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) are often the next step—yet many are turned away due to stigma, regulatory confusion, and barriers to medications for opioid use disorder. This interactive workshop addresses critical practice gaps in care transitions, interdisciplinary communication, and SNF readiness to support patients with SUDs. Participants will explore practical strategies for strengthening hospital-to-SNF transitions, integrating peer support during and after discharge, and building frontline staff capacity through targeted education. Through case-based discussion and workflow mapping, teams will leave with concrete tools to reduce fragmentation and improve continuity of care.
