The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) will host the final session of a three-part webinar about pain medication education and resources on March 13 at 12 pm ET.
The last webinar will have a brief refresher on opioid addiction from the previous session and then lead into the main discussion: options for tapering opioids. This will include the fundamentals of and factors related to tapering, common questions related to tapering to a non-opioid medication, and different integrative therapy options. At the end of the session, attendees will be given additional resources for further information and assistance.
