Welcome to the education resources on pain management and opioids.
The Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network (Michigan OPEN) was founded to develop a preventive approach to the opioid epidemic in the state of Michigan. MSSIC is proud to partner with M-OPEN in an effort to prevent chronic opioid use and opioid-related harms. The following resources were developed by M-OPEN for patient education purposes:
