Changing the Script Presentation - Brian Preiser, MA, & Sarah Comey - Training Institute
America’s biggest drug problem is not on the streets — it’s in our own medicine cabinets. Nearly 80% of Americans who use heroin reported misusing prescription opioids first. Nearly half of students in 7th through 12th grades have been prescribed a controlled substance. This presentation discusses the risks of opioid prescription and prescription misuse and the importance of talking to your doctor about alternatives.
