Comprehensive Pain and Addiction Center
OVERVIEW
To lead the state in addressing the current opioid epidemic, we will create a Comprehensive Center for Chronic Pain and Addiction that is the nucleus for treatment, research, trials, drug discovery, technology, education and legislation to predict, prevent and contain addiction crises. The university will conduct new research on comprehensive behavioral therapies as addiction treatment, develop early screeners for individuals at risk and develop novel non-addictive pain medications and medications to help those who suffer from addiction.
