Opioid overdose deaths remain a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States.
During this online session will share effective strategies for reducing opioid overdose and discuss how state and federal policies can better support recovery and care.
We’ll examine key questions including:
- What actions and strategies prevent addiction?
- What harm reduction strategies are effective?
- Which public policies support recovery, and how do others create barriers?
- What considerations need to be made from a pharmacy or drug access perspective?
- What role does stigma play in the recovery process?
