A slide from a presentation on the opioid risk management environment. The slide is titled "The opioid Risk Management Environment is changing rapidly" and has a small square at the top that reads "Clinical Overview". Below the title there are four bullet points. The first is "In a retrospective study to evaluate the prevalence characteristics associated healthcare resource utilization (HRU) and costs of diagnosis and prescription opioid abusers (abusers) in a managed care population the overall prevalence of diagnosed opioid abuse increased two-fold from 2005-2010."

The second bullet point says "that medical and prescription costs associated with opioid addiction and diversion have been estimated at $72.5 billion annually for private and public healthcare payers." The third bullet point says "Several approaches to curb opioid abuse have emerged including abuse detergent technologies government guidance and insurer programs." The fourth bullet point says "The first bullet point states that the FDA has issued draft guidance to assist sponsors who wish to develop formulations of opioid drug products with potentially abuse-detergent properties."

At the bottom of the slide there is a text box with white text and a green background. It reads: "Abuse deterrence is the responsibility for all healthcare stakeholders patient payer provider and government." Under the text box there are a number of citations for the information on the slide.
