Dr. Kathleen Brady ~ Responding to the Opioid Experience

In our opening lunchtime lecture, Dr. Brady will describe the state of the opioid epidemic in South Carolina and the nation at large. New, state-of-the-art treatments for opioid dependence are available, and Dr. Brady will discuss efforts to make these treatments available throughout South Carolina. Cutting through the sensationalism of the news media to offer a truthful glimpse of the difficulties facing addicts and their families today, Dr. Bradys insights are sure to be enlightening in this timely presentation. Boxed lunches will be served.
