Is Your Patient at Risk for Opioid Use Disorder?

There are many reasons clinicians may suspect opioid use disorder in their patients on opioid therapy. In such cases, patients should be assessed with a validated tool. In this podcast we discuss risk for opioid use disorder and ways to assess for it.

This activity is intended to be fully compliant with the Opioid Analgesic REMS education requirements issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

This activity is supported by an independent educational grant from the Opioid Analgesic REMS Program Companies. Please see https://www.opioidanalgesicrems.com/Resources/Docs/List_of_RPC_Companies.pdf for a listing of REMS Program Companies.
