The Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services continues to take action to help prevent prescription drug overdose in Nebraska. The department has developed a new opioid prescribing resource for providers.

"Although opioids can be a useful option for pain management, inappropriate use can result in significant harms," said Dr. Tom Williams, former Chief Medical Officer and Director of Public Health for DHHS. "This guidance document will assist in making clinical decisions easier and provide effective options to treat pain while ensuring patient safety."​
