As part of a long-standing commitment to help curb opioid addiction and overdose, Cigna has collaborated with dentists to increase awareness of the dangers of opioids, the greater risk of misuse and addiction among teenagers, and safer non-opioid options to manage acute dental pain.
Drug abuse can become ongoing and compulsive. In fact, it only takes 10 days. With just a 10-day prescription, one in five people have an increased risk of opioid addiction.1 The Cigna Safe Opioid Starts (SOS) program attempts to help prevent this tough situation from taking root.
On October 24, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act (SUPPORT Act) was signed into law to address the United States opioid crisis and enhance the nationwide system for preventing and treating opioid addiction.
