Prescribers' Clinical Support System for Opioid Therapy

The Prescribers’ Clinical Support System for Opioid Therapies (PCSS-O) offers online modules that are designed to increase clinicians’ understanding of the current state of opioid-dependence treatment, their understanding of treatment issues for special populations, and their ability to assess and treat patients.
The following free online modules are available on the PCSS-O Website:
