Alabama’s Prescription Drug Monitoring Program: A Key Tool in the Fight Against Opioid Use Disorder (OUD), Dr. Brent Fox

This presentation focuses on the role of the PDMP as a tool to fight opioid misuse and abuse. Alabama has one of the highest rates of opioid prescribing in the country, yet PDMP use is not required for pharmacists. PDMP use is required for prescribers, but only under specific circumstances.

The Opioid Training Institute is a cooperative effort of the Alabama Department of Mental Health and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It is made possible by a grant provided by SAMHSA.
