The proliferation of prescription drug abuse among college-aged students is a frightening trend spreading across campuses nationwide. Statistics reported by SAMHSA estimate nearly one in four college students has illegally used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes. As these young adults grow and transition into “the real world” these “harmless” tendencies can develop into full blown addictions causing significant functional issues and exacerbating other psychiatric morbidities.
Seeing that medical professionals could use assistance in preventing, diagnosing and treating such issues, IPS is sponsoring a program this Saturday, September 15 to provide necessary resources.
Registration is now closed. Onsite registration available for $25 above highest rate. Visit us at JW Marriott Grand Ballroom IV on the 3rd floor between 7:45 and 8:30am Saturday, September 15.
