The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the total ‘economic burden’ of prescription opioid misuse alone in the US is $78 billion a year, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement.” To learn more about this important issue, join us on October 24th from 9 – 10 for a Cleveland Clinic videoconference entitled, “All About Opioids.”  Sign up through the GOAL Office, room 249A.
