Opioid Use Disorders, Brain Chemistry, Identification of Signs and Symptoms

JSI Consultant Dr. William Morrone, MPH, will discuss the biological underpinnings of opioid use disorders (OUDs) by examining how drugs interact with the brain’s chemistry. He’ll delve into the reward system and the changes that occur with addiction, leading to compulsive drug use despite negative consequences. He’ll then shift gears to identify the signs and symptoms of OUDs, equipping you to recognize them in various settings. This knowledge can be invaluable for early intervention and supporting individuals struggling with addiction.
