WEBINAR: Intersection of Brain Injury and Opioid Misuse

This event takes place on January 10 from 10AM – 3 PM with a break for lunch from 12-1PM

The Council on Chemical Abuse invites you to this webinar in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and the Brain Injury Association of PA.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health is partnering with the Brain Injury Association of Pennsylvania (BIAPA) to raise awareness of the intersection of brain injury and opioid misuse and provide training and consultation to substance abuse providers and professionals who work with individuals struggling with opioid misuse and/or addiction.

50% of those involved in substance abuse treatment have a history of brain injury, and this estimate is even higher among those who also have mental illness. In recent years, opioid misuse has become a significant public health challenge, with many unwanted consequences, including an intersection with brain injury. Opioid use disorder increases the risk for brain injury.
