What is Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORE) Network?
The Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORE) Network is an initiative designed to establish a coordinated system of care for those seeking treatment for opioid use disorder. Patients seeking treatment for other substance use disorders can also benefit from CORE.
Opioid Use Awareness, Prevention and Treatment
Opioid use disorder, or opioid addiction, is a medical condition that can affect any race, gender, income level, or social class. Some people begin taking prescription opioids to manage pain after a surgery or injury, and some people begin taking them to manage chronic pain. No matter what the circumstance is, prescription opioids can be addictive and dangerous, but recovery is possible.
