This 90-minute webinar reviews the intersection of chronic pain and opioid use and misuse in the military. It details evidence based treatments for both conditions, including the limited efficacy and risks inherent in treating chronic pain with opioids and the importance of medication-assisted treatments (MATs) for managing opioid use disorder. Viewers will learn evidence-based screening for opioid use disorder and how to best manage patients with opioid use disorder and/or chronic pain.
This 90-minute webinar (60 minutes instruction, 30 minutes Q&A), led by Craig Bryan, Psy.D., is sponsored in part by the Cohen Veterans Network. Means safety counseling, also referred to as means restriction counseling, entails assessing whether an individual at risk for suicide has access to a firearm or other lethal means for suicide, and working with the individual and their support system to limit their access to these means until suicide risk has declined.
