Effective Strategies for Treating Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders
OVERVIEW
Effective Strategies for Treating Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders is organized by University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Division of Continuing Medical Education and will be held from Mar 03 - 07, 2025 at Grand Beach Hotel, Miami Beach, Miami, Florida, United States of America.
Description:
Substance use disorders are common in both general psychiatric, other mental health, and medical practice. Because clinicians often do not have the knowledge about how to treat these disorders, it is common for clinicians to not screen for them. This often leads to poor outcomes for these patients. This course will review key issues that clinicians need to know about the diagnosis and treatment of patients with alcohol and drug use problems. The course will consist of lecture and frequent audience interaction, including discussion of cases. The course will review diagnosis, pharmacologic and behavioral treatment strategies, treatment of patients with co-occurring psychiatric illness, a review of the common drugs of misuse, including prescription drug misuse, recent drug trends (e.g., the opioid overdose epidemic, the legalization of cannabis for medical and recreational use), and strategies to help family members of those with substance use disorders.

- Diagnose substance use disorders
