Description

•11.8 million people misuse opioids and 2.1 million Americans suffer from opioid use disorder (SAMHSA)
•66% of the drug overdose deaths in 2016 were from opioids (SAMHSA)
•Over 40% of opioid dependent individuals have co-occurring psychiatric disorders (buppractice.com)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services states that in addition to better pain management options and better targeting of overdose reversing drugs, we need better prevention, treatment, and recovery services. This workshop will discuss counseling and behavioral therapy strategies, as well as the current accepted medication-assisted treatments.
