Do No Harm: Exploring Strategies for Safer Prescribing of Opioids

As we approach Knock Out Opioid Abuse Day in New Jersey on October 6, it is important to acknowledge the positive impact safe and responsible prescribing can make in the fight against the opioid crisis.

Through October 15, Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey is offering prescribers an opportunity to earn their state-mandated one-hour opioid continuing education credit for a discounted price of $5. Use the discount code, “KNOCKOUT” when registering.

The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, through its philanthropic arm, The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey, have collaborated to create Knock Out Opioid Abuse, an initiative to address the opioid epidemic through community outreach, prescriber education, parent education and a statewide media campaign to increase awareness of the crisis
