Across the country, opioid overdose deaths are on the rise as we grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic, and the use of opioid medications as pain management, especially acute pain in the surgical setting, can serve as a gateway to dangerous dependence and medicine misuse.
On Thursday, October 1, CADCA and Voices for Non-Opioid Choices, a leading organization in empowering patients with access to non-opioid therapies and approaches to managing acute pain, hosted a joint webinar to discuss the efforts underway to prevent opioid misuse and how Congress can take action to prevent addiction before it starts.
