This webinar is designed for healthcare and human service providers and other staff who interact with patients, who work in multiple types of settings. Prescribers of extended-release and long-acting opioids are particularly welcome. We now know that overdoses from prescription opioids are a driving factor in the 15-year increase in opioid overdose deaths.
