About
This activity discusses opioids and controlled substances, and more specifically prescribing controlled substances.
Note: As of June 27, 2023, all DEA registered practitioners must complete a one-time eight-hour training requirement on the treatment and management of patients with opioid or other substance use disorders. This lecture will count as two-hours toward the eight-hour requirement.
In this session, you’ll learn how to:
- Discuss the basic pharmacology of controlled substances and opioids in particular.
- Describe the underlying epidemiology and incidence of the opioid epidemic.
- List alternative approaches to pain management, aside from the prescribing of controlled substances.
