The Ongoing Opioid Crisis—How a National Tragedy and Hollywood Awareness Made New Law, Created Treatment Resources, and Deepened the Need for Collaborative Care Overview

Linda Clark, Barclay Damon’s Health Care Controversies Team co-leader, will take you through the evolution of the opioid crisis—an epidemic that resulted in over 100,000 overdose deaths in 2020 alone and that is continuing to ravage communities. Linda will consider how litigation against pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacies as well as billions of dollars in settlements are meant to be dedicated to driving solutions to save lives through treatment and prevention. She will also discuss in an interactive format the legal theories and precedents being relied on; the debates around how settlement monies should be used by local governments; and how providers are collaborating to recognize, treat, and improve patient health outcomes while accessing the funds dedicated to this important cause.

  1. This session will review, from a legal perspective, how the opioid crisis accelerated and led to state action to
    recoup costs.
  2. The session will identify the legal theories that have been used to support claims against supply chain
    participants.
  3. Participants will learn about the red flags that have proven relevant to opioid liability determinations and
    precedents.
  4. The consequences of these legal actions and how they will fund treatment and recovery efforts will be
    reviewed.
  5. This session will review the expanding role of pharmacists in collaborating with mental health/recovery
    providers in the treatment of patients.
