Sinopsis

Read one of the most comprehensive books about the opioid epidemic: opioid overdose deaths, illegally manufactured fentanyl (IMF), synthetic opioid analogs, heroin, and how marijuana/cannabis affects the opioid epidemic. Read also about how drugs like cocaine methamphetamine and benzodiazepines ( BENZOS) affect the opioid epidemic, also learn about different medication treatment/programs such as naloxone, Suboxone, methadone, Safe Injection Sites/Supervised Injection Sites /Insight and many drugs detoxification protocols. Learn how to protect your children from illicit opioids, cocaine, marijuana /cannabis, and other illegal drugs.This book looks at how the opioid epidemic started and where we are now. We examined and explained the causes of the opioid epidemic and who are most likely responsible, as we look at prescription drugs and the doctors and providers who write these prescriptions. The impact of legal and illegal opioids and their contribution to the opioid epidemic are discussed. Also, non-opioid drugs, which are also a major contributing factor to the opioid epidemic, are considered. The significance of diversions of opioids and controlled substances are presented. The impact of the opioid epidemic on family and loved ones, including teens and young adults, is also presented, as well as some of the obstacles to available treatment. Appropriate medical, nonmedical intervention, and treatment as well as the challenges faced by those of us who work with chronic and acute pain patients are elaborated on at length with an emphasis on addiction treatment, prevention. Alternative therapies such as marijuana, non-traditional treatments, and some controversial programs are also examined. The importance of naloxone is thoroughly discussed. As we move forward, we looked at what can be done, and some of the things that are being done in other countries that are helpful in their fight against the opioid crisis.We also looked at what is being done in our country by various sectors, including but not limited to the government, providers, and healthcare insurance companies. The importance of opioid use in our society is discussed, along with the need for continuing opioid treatment despite the number of deaths it has caused. This book provides a relatively simple approach to a very complex problem, as well as information that will create a better understanding for consumers, the public as a whole, and healthcare providers/physicians of some of the challenges involved with opioid use, treatment and addiction. This book is intended for consumers and the general public, as well as healthcare providers mainly engaged in primary care and service treatment of patients who are potential users of opioids, and those who are already on opioids and other controlled substances.áAuthor: Dr. D.
