Description

The United States continues to be in the throes of an opioid crisis, with high numbers of individuals experiencing opioid use disorder (OUD) and death due to unintentional overdose. Recent reports find that the trend may be reversing for overdose deaths nationally. Although, even with improvements, Americans are still suffering through OUD and subsequent loss of life due to overdose contributing to the trauma responses of families, friends, communities, and treatment providers. The literature is limited regarding emotional support for providers' grief and loss experiences after a lethal overdose of a patient, but the impact of patient death on providers is real. The processes to address the bureaucratic aspects are well-defined in the literature. Still, the emotional elements are lacking, and we find ourselves “on our own” in navigating through the healing process. This training will provide options for professionals to consider incorporating into practice to assist one another in self-care practices to move through the process of emotional healing after an overdose death.
