TITLE:  Tackling the Opioid Epidemic:  Strategies for Clinical Intervention and Care

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Recognize the unintended consequences that excessive pharmaceutical promotion, unrealistic patient expectations for pain treatment and reinforcement by professional healthcare organizations all played in physician over-prescribing of opioids.
  • Review the current neurobiology of opioid dependence and recognize the neuroadaptation with chronic use renders traditional abstinence-based treatment highly unsuccessful.
  • Contrast the four FDA approved medications for the treatment of opioid dependence, intoxication and withdrawal and how they are best used in the clinical setting.
  • Summarize what all clinicians can do to minimize stigma, unconscious bias and promote evidence-based care in practice such that there is "no wrong door" to access effective treatment for opioid dependence.
