LOFEXIDINE (On screen)
Lofexidine is a tablet that can be used as needed to ease withdrawal symptoms as someone stops taking opioids and the drugs begin to clear completely from their body.
This is a process some people call detoxing.
Lofexidine attaches to and activates certain receptors, called adrenergic receptors, in the brain.
This relaxes parts of the nervous system to alleviate the nausea, cramping, and flu-like symptoms associated with opioid withdrawal.
NALTREXONE (On screen)
Naltrexone is a monthly injection used to treat both opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder.
Naltrexone blocks the activity of opioid receptors in the brain, preventing the high associated with these drugs and reducing cravings.
Naltrexone does not control withdrawal symptoms and is used after someone stops taking opioids or alcohol, and the drugs clear completely from their body.
*Since this video was released, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a prescription nasal spray and injection formulation containing nalmefene to reverse opioid overdose ( -events/press-announcements/fda-approves-prescription-nasal-spray-reverse-opioid-overdose, -drug-safety-information-patients-and-providers/information-about-naloxone-and-nalmefene).
Safe storage and secure disposal of prescription drugs is critical to reining in the drug abuse epidemic. A federal government survey revealed that more than 70 percent of Americans who abuse prescription pain medications get them from friends or family members.
Downward Spiral is a board game developed by the authors to illustrate the dangers of continued substance abuse. Previous work has found that college students and probationers find the game interesting, enjoyable, useful, and realistic [1]. In the current study, college students either played Downward Spiral, watched educational videos on substance abuse, or completed a set of questionnaires unrelated to alcohol and drug abuse. Those students who either played the game or watched the videos rated both as beneficial. However, students who watched videos had somewhat higher levels of consumer satisfaction. Students who played the game rated it as smoother, and they felt more positive following the session than students who watched videos. Both videos and the game increased students' intentions to limit alcohol consumption compared to students who served as controls. Individuals in the game group also indicated significantly greater intentions to change their alcohol behavior than those in the other groups.
NCSACW has produced a variety of videos and webinars geared towards child welfare, substance abuse treatment and legal professionals which can be used for training purposes. These videos and webinars cover a wide spectrum of topics and include downloadable handouts.
The Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 mandated the Secretary of Transportation to issue regulations to combat prohibited drug use and alcohol misuse in the transportation industry. For that portion of the transportation industry has to do with the provision of and service to the public of mass transportation, FTA is the agency delegated with the authority and responsibility for issuing these implementing rules. These rules are encompassed in 49 CFR Part 655, Prevention of Alcohol Misuse and Prohibited Drug Use in Transit Operations.
This video describes the effects and consequences of prohibited drug use on personal health, safety and the work environment, and on the signs and symptoms that may indicate prohibited drug use. This video meets the 60-minute training requirement of section 655.14(b)(1) for covered employees.
Last year, 100K+ people died from drug overdoses driven by fentanyl, and the fastest growing group is under age 19. Fentanyl poisoning truly is the most important conversation you need to have with your kids right now.
It is not any one thing but rather a combination of factors that ultimately leads young people to have the courage to avoid drug and alcohol abuse. Our curriculum focuses on these protective factors, giving young people a well-rounded skill set that is rooted in the latest research on drug prevention.
I absolutely love the Natural High series and use it for my 5th and 6th grades during the month of October. My 6th grade teachers enjoyed it so much, and the kids absolutely love them. It has been an integral part of drug awareness and trying to make a life-long impact on our students.
We showed several of your videos during RRW to our middle school students. We received a lot of positive responses from teachers and students. I have been showing your videos for 15 years. I appreciate everything you have done to promote a drug free lifestyle to students.
We did this lesson last week in 7th grade health. We were able to have great class discussions about the video. Thank you for all your materials! I have referred to your materials many times over the course of several years for my drug and alcohol unit in health class.
We had a productive talk, watched the video, and talked a bit more. My son (age 13) was engaged in the video and we stopped it a few times to discuss and explain different things. It was also really helpful to my husband and I in educating us on fentanyl and teen drug use. The Natural High website is an excellent resource that we will continue to go back to in order to keep the conversation going!
Natural High videos encourage our students to share their experiences and have powerful class discussions about the negative impact drugs and alcohol can have in reaching their personal and career goals.
Drs. Tom Hornbein, Raymond Roy, and Lynn Hankes along with Diana Quinlan, CRNA, served as Executive Directors for the new video Wearing Masks II. The video, produced by the Coalition for the Prevention of Substance Abuse in Anesthesia, is an excellent educational tool illustrating the dangers of substance abuse and drug addiction in anesthesia. Specific focus is directed toward behavioral patterns that may be recognized in impaired health care professionals along with signs of addiction. The goal of this presentation is to help identify addicted anesthesia providers and help them enter safe and anonymous treatment. This video is available in DVD format and has 5 parts, which include an introduction, the original Wearing Masks I video, discussion questions, Wearing Masks: Ten Years Later, and resource information. The content is personal, dramatic, and extremely important. The destructive forces of drug addiction are presented through the eyes of family, friends, and coworkers of real anesthesia providers whose lives were destroyed, and ended, by substance abuse. During our careers, we will all likely encounter a colleague or coworker who is an addict. Education may help us recognize the problem and intervene appropriately. During my 22 years in anesthesia, I have personally known 4 anesthesia providers who were addicts: 2 physicians, and 2 CRNAs. One physician was resuscitated after being found in full arrest with a needle in his arm, 1 CRNA fell unconscious while administering a general anesthetic, and 1 anesthesia resident (who appears on this video) is now dead, despite intervention and multiple attempts at treatment and rehabilitation. This is a real problem, affecting real people, and impacting patient safety in a dramatic way. Wearing Masks II is a tremendous educational tool that all anesthesia providers should watch.

SAAC/AAPD (Society of Academic Anesthesiology Chairs/the Association of Anesthesiology Program Directors) has also recently produced a DVD entitled Collateral Damage: Drug Abuse and Anesthesiology. Contact and ordering information for this video is available from the website www.aapd-saac.org. Finally, a recent article in JAMA by Domino, Hornbein, et al.1 examined risk factors for relapse in health care professionals with a history substance abuse.
The stories are tough to share, but the message is worth it. That's why Lisa and Cortney are now part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's campaign to combat substance abuse. They are featured in two new videos released Wednesday by the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse as part of the 'Kitchen Table Toolkit.'
The NCAA drug-testing program, along with clear policies and effective education, protects student-athletes who play by the rules by playing clean. The purpose of the drug-testing program is to deter student-athletes from using performance-enhancing drugs, and it impacts the eligibility of student-athletes who try to cheat by using banned substances. The NCAA tests for steroids, peptide hormones and masking agents year-round and also tests for stimulants and recreational drugs during championships. Member schools also may test for these substances as part of their athletics department drug-deterrence programs.
