If all hospitals would use alto principles for acute pain, we can really stop a lot of the prescriptions for opioids and we can also drive the drug, the people who are abusing the opioids, into treatment programs, and this may be the way to really stem the tide of opioid abuse and this tremendous epidemic that we're in.
Picture this: you're in the emergency room, in pain, and the usual answer is opioids. But what if there was another way? In this episode of Cover2 Resources, Greg sits down with Dr. Mark Rosenberg, the Chairman of Emergency Medicine at St. Joseph's Healthcare System in Patterson, New Jersey. Dr. Rosenberg shares the innovative Alternatives to Opioids Program (ALTO) that his team has developed.
ALTO uses non-addictive methods like music therapy and other alternative treatments to manage pain without the risk of addiction. Dr. Rosenberg reveals some eye-opening statistics about the program's success and its impact on the local community. The numbers are staggering, showing a significant reduction in opioid prescriptions and a positive shift towards safer pain management options. He passionately discusses how ALTO isn't just a program but a movement that could change how hospitals across the country approach pain relief.
Listeners will find this episode particularly relevant if they're seeking alternatives to traditional pain management methods or if they have loved ones affected by the opioid crisis. The conversation is both enlightening and hopeful, offering practical solutions that could be adopted widely. So, if you're curious about groundbreaking ways to tackle pain without falling into the trap of opioid addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
