You’ve likely heard the term “opioids” before, as well as all the negative connotations that come with it. But what exactly ARE opioids, and is there a safe way to use them?
Dr. Holly L. Geyer, Addiction Medicine Specialist at Mayo Clinic, sits down with us to explain how opioids affect your body, how to safely use them, as well as the street opioids to avoid at all costs.
She will cover topics such as:
- How do opioids work?
- How are opioids used safely?
- Drugs that fall under the “opioid” class
- Illicit opioids
- What if we are the generation that ends the opioid epidemic for good?
