Road to Recovery is an annual conference hosted by Johns Hopkins Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit. Each year we focus on hot topics within the field of addiction medicine. This year we plan to feature sessions that take a look at the rising opioid epidemic with a focus on fentanyl.
The 2022 program will include lectures from leaders in the field, a patient panel, and a poster exhibition.
