Description:
This workshop, part of the Addiction Medicine Review Course 201, is a collaboration between the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) and the California Society of Addiction Medicine (CSAM).

The workshop will include didactic information on psychopharmacology for individuals with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders, breakout discussions of cases, and an interactive Q&A session.

Learning objectives

• Implement basic psychopharmacology heuristics for individuals with co-occurring psychiatric and substance use disorders
• Develop an understanding of brief psychotherapeutic interventions that naturally lend themselves to integration into a medical model
