Oklahoma Society of Addiction Medicine
Helping Oklahoma Medical Professionals in the Addiction Medicine Field to Connect, Learn & Expand their Capabilities.
Who We Are
The Oklahoma Society of Addiction Medicine is a state chapter, in Region VII, of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), representing addiction medicine professionals dedicated to advancing treatment and recovery services across Oklahoma. We are healthcare professionals that specialize in the treatment of substance use disorders and addiction in all its forms. Statistically, less than one out of ten individuals in Oklahoma suffering with the disease of addiction are receiving any treatment or assistance.
OKSAM advocates for local, regional, and state policies that expand access to high-quality addiction treatment, while fostering collaboration among physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals through educational programming and professional networking. The organization works to promote evidence-based addiction medicine practices in urban, rural, and native communities, and provide support and training to all interested professionals.

Opioid Crisis...
Think about a City. Let’s say the population is a little over 100,000. Now imagine that over the course of a year, every single one of those people die… Now imagine that exact same thing is going to happen to another small city every year from now on.
Every day in America addiction is killing people. They are our neighbors, friends and family. The population of a small city, simply wiped off the face of the earth.
