Substance use disorders are the most common cause of preventable disability in the United States, and accidental overdose (often involving opioids) is the leading cause of injury-related death in our country.
Addiction is recognized as a brain disease and there is a wealth of evidence for the use of medications in the treatment of substance use disorders — and yet they remain underutilized and often misunderstood.
We invite one and ALL to this community training on medications for the treatment of substance use disorders presented by Robert Roose, MD, MPH, FASAM — VP, Behavioral Health, Mercy Medical Center and its affiliates.
