    RECORDING:
    The Opioid Crisis During COVID

    1.5 CEU

    The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges to the addiction community and to those providers who serve persons living with substance use disorders: Drug-seeking behaviors increased exposure to COVID-19 and great social isolation complicated and often interrupted access to social supports, treatment, and healthy distractions. This course looks at the effects of those factors on people  struggling with opioid use.

    The course seeks to:
    • Offer an update on the state of the opioid crisis.
    • Describe the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the opioid crisis.
    • Present novel approaches that have helped to maintain access to evidence-based treatments.

    Presenter: Dr. Joji Suzuki
