Opioids and Chronic Pain: A guide for primary care providers
Opioid Safety and How to Use Naloxone: A guide for patients and caregivers (brochure)
Naloxone brochure is available in Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Korean, and Tagalog.
The CIAO team also wants to share our recent article published online in September 2022 in Annals of Medicine, “Primary care management of long-term opioid therapy.” This article was written as a narrative summary of the guidebook and emphasizes the best practices in caring for patients who have often been ignored and stigmatized in healthcare settings as a result of their opioid use.
