Series Overview

A number of common substance use disorders can be effectively addressed in primary care settings. Also importantly, hospitalized patients frequently have a substance use issue that may lead to or complicate their hospital stay. This educational series is designed to review and discuss important aspects of the assessment and management of patients who use alcohol and other drugs in general medical settings with a focus on care delivery in settings where specialty care is not readily accessible. 

Global Objectives

As a result of participation in this educational series, members of the healthcare team will:

• Formulate values-based treatment & prevention plans for patients engaged in risky and problem substance use.
• Deliver appropriate preventive services to people who misuse alcohol and other drugs.
• Select appropriate pharmacotherapy for patients who have an alcohol or other substance use disorder.
• Collaborate and communicate effectively with interprofessional teams to identify community resources to facilitate health and recovery for people engaged in risky and problem use of alcohol and other drugs.
• Identify sociodemographic factors contributing to the impacts of alcohol and other drugs and strategies to address resulting health disparities.

Intended Audience

MD/DO, RN, Physician Assistants, Social Workers, Students, CSAC, Behavioral Health Providers, and Peer Recovery Services.
