Program Summary:

While the epidemic of opioid use has seemingly hit it's peak, there continue to be new (life threatening) ways opioids threaten our client's sobriety and their lives. This program briefly reviews the history of the opiate pandemic before describing the evolution of adulterants and alternatives that have evolved and continue to be misused. The majority of this program reviews current adulterants like Medetomidine, Xylazine, Nitazine, even current trends in Kratom use. Recent legal trends in OH will be discussed, as will a special presentation by representatives from Project DAWN.

Learning Objectives:
