Feb. 10 - Your Q&A Session on the Opioid Overdose Toolkit

	Your Q&A Session on the Opioid Overdose Toolkit (Rescheduled) Monday, February 10, 2014 | 2 p.m. Eastern Time Call-in Number: 888-603-9226 | Passcode: 5470260 The Opioid Overdose Toolkit educates community members, first responders, opioid prescribers, patients, family members, and overdose survivors on ways to prevent and intervene in an opioid overdose situation. The toolkit explains how to use the drug naloxone to prevent overdose-related deaths. Anyone who uses opioids for long-term management of pain may be at risk for overdose, as are those who use heroin. The good news is, we now know that the drug naloxone can be used as an antidote to opioid overdose and can prevent opioid-related deaths when administered in a medically appropriate and timely manner. SAMHSA Speakers Frances M. Harding, Director, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention H. Westley Clark, M.D., J.D., M.P.H., CAS, FASAM, Director, Center for Substance Abuse Treatment Elinore F. McCance-Katz, M.D., Chief Medical Officer The conference call will begin at 2 p.m., with an overview of the toolkit followed by an opportunity for stakeholders to ask questions. Due to the limited number of available phone lines, we encourage attendees to gather together in offices and/or conference rooms utilizing speakerphone functionality. Dial-in is on a first-come, first-served basis; there are no advance reservations. Get the Opioid Overdose Toolkit Read the Office of National Drug Control Policy's Blog Post
