New Course: Opiate Impact
NET Institute is releasing this timely, 1 hour course that provides a fresh perspective on the science of pain and recovery from opiate addiction. Featuring interviews with recovering addicts and treatment professionals, it illustrates the challenges of opioid use and brings a message of hope.
Opiate Impact is based on the CNS Video production titled “Beyond Opiates”, and presents a new paradigm for understanding chronic pain, and how the extended use of prescription painkillers actually increases the sensitivity of nerve cells which then magnifies pain.
Learning Outcomes:
- Recognize signs of opiate addiction.
- Understand chemical processes of the brain when influenced by opiate painkillers.
- Differentiate between the three phases of achieving drug abstinence.
- Review effective recovery tools used to break opioid dependence.
