+COURSE DESCRIPTION:

Countless patients choose to ingest illicit substances while also utilizing prescription medications, and as healthcare professionals, we are left with barely any education on these substances. More education is needed in order to actually provide tangible life-saving, or at least life-improving, patient education.

Forget polypharmacy, what about poly substance abuse? Every 7 minutes an American dies of a drug overdose, propelling pharmacists to expand our knowledge on illicit substances. We humans have always aimed to experience the amplified effects of natural and synthetic substances that produce euphoria. The line between clinical and criminal utilization of substances if often blurred. In our society today, we have a very “objective” classification of substances based on generally accepted medical use and a respective propensity to become habit forming. However, as one can recall with the substance of ethyl alcohol (i.e., beer, wine, and hard liquor), a substance may never actually chemically change, yet can move across legal classifications of substances. How does that happen? Well, join our discussion on illicit substances to learn how numerous illicit substances have similar, if not the same, mechanisms of action as legal prescription medications readily available today. The time has come (Just Say NOW) to progress from “Just Say No” to “Just Say Know”!

+LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

At the conclusion of this continuing education activity, the participant will be able to:

-Recall dozens of common substances of abuse based on pharmacological classification
-Describe the respective pharmacology of common substances of abuse
-Recall the DEA controlled substance classes of common substances of abuse
