The Opioid Epidemic: Problem and Prescription

Criminal Law & Procedure Practice Group Teleforum

Over 75 Americans die every day of an opioid overdose (both prescription drug opioids and heroin), a number that has quadrupled since 1999. Meanwhile, the amount of prescription drug opioids (oxycodone, hydrocodone and their ilk) sold in the United States has grown fourfold during the same period.

Join us to explore the scope of this growing problem, and the proposed legislative solution, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act signed into law by President Obama just this past Friday.

Featuring:

• Shane Dana, Federal Bureau of Investigation; Case Agent, Chasing the Dragon Project
• Drew Hudson, Legislative Counsel, United States Senate Judiciary Committee
• Moderator: James Baehr, Assistant United States Attorney, Eastern District of Louisiana
