You’re on the frontlines, helping to manage the complex issues associated with chronic opioid use and dependency. We’re working to change the way opioids are dispensed and used by offering evidenced-based alternatives for healthcare providers and patients, while also trying to affect legislation to combat the epidemic. Here you can find resources, like:
Educational brochures and posters
Medication disposal site maps
Information on legislative gains in Michigan
Continuing education opportunities
Naloxone access in Michigan
