Why should I take this training?

Thousands of people are impacted each year by the misuse of prescription drugs, whether it be their own personal use or use by family and friends. It is important to understand the risks of prescription drug misuse and how to prevent misuse. This training can help you to recognize the signs of prescription drug misuse and learn how to provide resources to someone who needs them. Talking about misuse may be uncomfortable, but this conversation is crucial if you suspect someone you know may be misusing prescription medications.

There are alternative ways to manage pain that don’t involve prescription medications. Additionally, quality sleep is a contributing factor to pain management and overall well-being. This training will discuss both alternative pain management techniques and tips for good sleep.

One major concern with prescription drug misuse is the possibility of overdose. Overdoses are preventable; it is important to be able to recognize the signs of an opioid overdose and respond.
