FIGHTING THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC – HEALTHY ALTERNATIVES
The purpose of this briefing is to review alternatives in addressing the opioid addiction crisis. This briefing will provide a snapshot of provider perspectives for alternative treatment modalities that prevent or reduce the abuse of prescribed opioids that alleviate pain from injury or chronic health conditions. The collaboration of alternatives to opioids is based on a model of multi-disciplinary care that is used in other settings and for today’s briefing it’s referred to as the “quad” model.
According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Health and Hu man Services and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency:
● 200 Americans die every day from an opioid overdose.
● 2,000 Americans suffer an overdose every day.
● From 1999 to 2017, more than 700,000 people have died from a drug overdose.
In an effort to combat the opioid epidemic the focus will be on supporting healthcare providers in the following categories: Medical Management (20 minutes), Body and Pain Management – Physical Therapy (20 minutes), Acupuncture (20 minutes), Massage Therapy (20 minutes), Transforming to a Quad Model – Department of Health's Hawaii Opioid Initiative on Education, Prevention and Pain Management (20 minutes), and Mind/Behavioral/Cultural Practices (20 minutes).
