Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and the State Medical Board of Ohio are jointly sponsoring a statewide, collaborative meeting about the opioid epidemic in Ohio and the need for a continuum of care for addiction treatment. The all-day conference scheduled for Monday, September 25, will be held at The Ohio State University’s 4-H Center located at 2201 Fred Taylor Drive, in Columbus, OH.
At this event, stakeholders will be asked to share their thoughts with other health care leaders from across Ohio as work continues to incorporate opioid treatment and evidence-based practices in a range of health care settings.
The opioid epidemic and the consequences of substance abuse are devastating the country. Continuum of care models exist to deal with substance abuse, opioid abuse, and prescription pill abuse, and this conference will highlight best practices, American Society of Addiction Medicine’s (ASAM) Standards of Care with continuing medical education (CME) accreditation*, community partnerships, and replicable models currently in practice.
Additional information on CME accreditation and a detailed agenda will be provided soon. To register, please visit the Attorney General’s website.
