Opioid use disorder (OUD) is prevalent, contributes to significant morbidity and mortality, and remains undertreated despite significant evidence for effective pharmacotherapies. Additionally, pain management continues to provide unique challenges in the context of the opioid epidemic. This program will provide a reassessment of the opioid epidemic, review effective harm reduction and OUD treatment strategies, and discuss evidence for use of non-opioid analgesics in pain management.
