Next Episode: DD #75 - Healing the Opioid Crisis

In this first of a two-part series, Drs. McGovern and Mullally trace the history of the Opioid Crisis including what is an opioid drug, information about addiction, available data on current opioid use, and factors that have contributed to the way opioid drugs are being abused today.
