About This Course
Opioid misuse has become a significant public health challenge, with many unwanted consequences, including an intersection with brain injury. Those addicted to opioids and/or survive overdose can experience brain damage because of lack of oxygen to the brain. Individuals who misuse substances are also more susceptible to brain injuries caused by falls and violence; as well as, struggles with chronic pain, pre- and post-injury addiction, neurobehavioral challenges, medication mismanagement, and difficulty accessing effective treatment.
