Funded Activity Summary

The study will provide the first data on the level and nature of brain damage due to opioid overdose. The extent to which overdose survivors suffer brain damage has important implications for clinical management, particularly in relation to behavioural problems. It will also provide the first data on brain damage and drug treatment performance. Screening of those with an overdose history may lead to specialised management of these individuals with the potential for improved treatment outcome.
