Preventing and Recognizing Opioid Abuse in Athletes by the Healthcare Professional
Course: #4876Level: Introductory 1 Hour 539 Reviews
Opioid abuse is one of the leading causes of death and non-accidental trauma among adults in the United States. The economic burden, including healthcare costs, addiction treatment, lost productivity, and criminal involvement of prescription opioid misuse, in the United States continues to rise. Healthcare providers need to be cognizant of the various community stakeholders to recognize opioid abuse and recognize potential abuse. Healthcare professionals can promote safe opioid use and prevent abuse by assisting and helping patients manage associated pain related to their injuries, which is critical to the well-being of student-athletes. The instructor will provide an overarching review of the literature as it pertains to prescription opioid use to allow the participant to recognize the risks and signs of opioid abuse, addiction, and diversion.
