Dear Reader,
Every eight minutes, someone in the U.S. dies of an opioid overdose. Opioids, the drugs that were supposed to kill pain, are now killing us on an epic scale. But what if we could turn back the tide? What if we were equipped with the information to use them and avoid their risks? What if we could help loved ones addicted to opioids and support them as they seek treatment?
Ending the Crisis reinvests Mayo's collective expertise into the lives of every person trying to understand opioids and their role in managing pain or dealing with the complications caused by these powerful drugs. Inside you’ll find: Advice for how to work with health care providers to use opioids safely, manage side effects and prevent complications Resources for those struggling with addiction, and their families Example of a real-life intervention Step-by-step instructions for how to administer life-saving doses of naloxone Impactful personal stories of people who experienced opioid addiction firsthand
Ending the Crisis is dedicated to those who shared their stories, those who lost the battle and those who continue to make a difference. Let's end the crisis together. Order your copy now and get a special discount for a limited time! | | Order now | Yours in good health,
