Speaker: Jen Stovall, BSN, RN Opioids are an important and necessary medicine for many of our clients. Unfortunately, long-term opioid use can impact both physical and mental health. In this presentation, we outline patterns of imbalance associated with opioid use and preventative strategies for support. Because opioids impact the body systems in predictable ways, resulting in similar symptom patterns, we look at both herbal and nutritional protocols that address the long-term impact of opioid use. Material presented is informed by the reality that not everyone is able, willing, or ready to quit using opioids and the belief that they still deserve support. We also consider commonly held myths about opioid users, both prescription and recreational, and best practices that lead to empowerment rather than stigmatization.
