OVERVIEW

Substance and Opioid Use Disorders is Dr. Onyejekwe’s 3rd presentation covering their respective clinical definitions, signs and symptoms, the abuse potential related to Gabapentin and Pregabalin and a patient-centered approach with treatment options including Medication - Assisted Treatment (MAT) which has been shown to significantly reduce the need for inpatient detoxification services.
