OVERVIEW
This event is a video conference that will broadcast from Twin Valley Behavioral Healthcare in Columbus, Ohio, to multiple sites around the state. Attend at a site near you (see "locations" tab).
Ohio, like much of the country, is currently in the midst of an opiate epidemic. Four individuals die in Ohio each day of an overdose of prescription opiates. When addicted individuals can no longer afford prescription opiates, they begin to abuse other drugs such as heroin. Inpatient psychiatric hospitals have seen an increase in the number of opiate-addicted patients who are being admitted, and Ohio’s Regional Psychiatric Hospitals are no exception.
The Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH) is in the process of developing guidelines for the management of patients with major mental illness and opiate-addiction in the inpatient psychiatric setting. This training will review the guidelines and provide an overview of how the guidelines will be implemented across the state.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to....
- List the major components of the Ohio Department of Mental Health's (ODMH) "Guidelines for the Management of Opiate-Addicted Patients in the Psychiatric Hospital,” including assessment, detoxification, management of co-existing pain, role of medication-assisted therapies and post-discharge referrals
- Review how the major components of the guidelines will be implemented across the different Regional Psychiatric Hospitals in Ohio.
- Using case examples, clarify how the guidelines can assist in clinical decision-making and appropriate treatment interventions.
