It’s never been urgent for us docs to treat opioid addiction in primary care

The AATOD Conference is returning to Las Vegas on May 18-22, 2024. We invite you to join us as we continue to address the opioid epidemic. ➡️ https://t.co/h1w9KvUqOR

The conference theme, Treating Opioid Use Disorders: So Much More Than Medication, allows us to educate, collaborate and discuss the devastating impact of opioid use if untreated.
