Join us on 11-14-2020 for the topic, "Understanding co-occurring opioid use and mental health disorders"
We had some really wonderful, robust and engaging discussions during our October meeting when we covered the topic, "Understanding opioid use disorder, treatment and recovery." Many participants shared that they learned a lot from other health professionals about their roles and responsibilities, and we discussed different ways that our different professions could collaborate together to care for the patients in our community with opioid use disorder.
Please join us on Saturday, November 14, 2020, from 10AM to 1PM, as we continue our series with the topic, "Understanding co-occurring opioid use and mental health disorders." Following COVID safety guidelines, this SPICE meeting will be conducted via Zoom and include interactive discussions and a patient case work up.
