Delaware pharmacists get aid to reduce substance abuse
By DOVER - The Delaware Division of Public Health has created new resources and a new webinar specifically for pharmacists as part of its ongoing work to reduce substance use disorder, a news release said.
The Division has worked with partners in the medical community to develop Delaware-specific, evidence-based education materials, aiming to reduce the risk of unintentional opioid prescription overdose deaths in the state. These materials are available on the health care provider page at HelpIsHereDE.com, including the new content created specifically for pharmacists.
The Division partnered with Alosa Health, Inc., to provide one-on-one education for pharmacists and created a webinar available on HelpIsHere.com to educate pharmacists on the effects of co-prescribing naloxone (Narcan) with certain opioid prescriptions.
