Pain & Addiction:  Common Threads VII
Restoring Balance
Sunday, October 29, 2006
Chicago, IL

Dear ASAM Colleagues,

 

Many of us face the twin issues of pain and addiction in our practices every day. Have you had to ask yourself these questions in your own clinical practice?

 

●  Am I under-treating my patients’ pain or am I providing the relief they deserve?

●  Am I creating addiction problems where there were none before?

●  Are the medications I am prescribing actually making my patients worse?

●  What is hyperalgesia and how can I prevent it in my practice?

●  Are my prescribing practices okay with the DEA?

 

Come join us in Chicago for Pain and Addiction: Common Threads VII, “Restoring Balance” and answer these and many other clinical, legal, and scientific questions relevant to your practice every day. We have put together the finest faculty from across the nation to answer the toughest questions and bring you the very latest on pain and addiction. Don’t miss this great opportunity – registrations are still available for a limited time only.
