ABA Annual Meeting 2018: Approaching the Opioid Crisis at the Source

If you want to know more about the opioid crisis, who better to ask then those who prescribe the drugs in the first place. In this report from On The Road at ABA Annual Meeting 2018, host Liane Jackson talks to Dave Preble, a dentist who seeks to improve the way medical professionals handle the prescription of opioids for pain. He discusses how to identify drug-seeking behavior, methods of solving the issue that aren’t incarceration, and avoiding the complete demonization of using opioids.

Dr. Dave Preble is the senior vice president of the Practice Institute where he provides strategic vision and leadership for developing ADA policy.
