Ending the Opioid Epidemic Is it Possible? The History of Opioids and New Clinical Developments

This presentation will discuss the opioid epidemic in its entirety, including its origins and escalation, how prescription opioids became a gateway to heroin and fentanyl, and why opioids became the gold standard for pain management. Current evidence-based clinical knowledge on opioid analgesics and the latest treatment solutions will be examined. The safe and effective management of individuals on opioid analgesics in acute- and chronic-pain settings, as well as strategies to recognize and treat opioid use disorder (OUD), will also be discussed.
