Abstract

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a problematic pattern of opioid use that causes significant impairment within a user's daily life. The opioid epidemic has led to excessive financial burdens on federal state and local governments; private health insurance; and society at large. This poster will discuss if there is a way to combat the opioid epidemic as a healthcare system and how nurses can help.
