Name
I10 - Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment in Primary Care
Description

Less than 10% of patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) are getting any treatment and less than 4% of patients are prescribed FDA approved medication for AUD. Because treatment for AUD may help to reduce symptoms, morbidity, and mortality, and there is minimal harm in both pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatments, this presentation will go over these evidence-based treatments that can and may be used in the integrated behavioral healthcare setting. Target audience is for clinicians who have a general understanding of the topic and the language of the topic with an interest in learning more about Alcohol Use Disorder. All disciplines are welcome. 5 minutes: Introduction/negative impact of AUD 10 minutes: Screening and associated Treatment Plan 10 minutes: Acute/intoxicated patient 10 minutes: Psychosocial Management 15 minutes: FDA approved medications for AUD 10 minutes: Q & A
