Program Agenda
5:30-6:00 pm: Registration & Refreshments
6:00-8:00 pm: Lecture, Q&A

Why Attend:
It is estimated that 46 individuals die of prescription opioid overdoses every day in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that more than 16,000 individuals in the United States died of opioid over-doses in 2013. Pharmacists are equipped to play an important role in reducing opioid misuse and abuse, but are often an underused resource. Pharmacists have unique clinical knowledge, as well as an obligation to ensure that all efforts are made to prevent substance abuse in their communities by providing education, using prescription drug monitor programs, and providing patients and families with lifesaving resources.

Target Audience: Pharmacists in all practice settings.

Objectives:

¨ Review the background of the opioid epidemic
¨ Identify risk factors associated with opioid overdose
¨ Balance legitimate medical use vs. illegitimate use
¨ Define tolerance, dependence (including withdrawal), addiction, and pseudoaddiction
¨ List points necessary to educate patients on during opioid counseling
