Description

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) remains a significant threat to health and wellness on a variety of levels. While data collection has been impacted, it does appear that the COVID pandemic has only worsened the rates of addiction to alcohol and other substances. This recorded session will review evidenced based screening protocols, decision tools for determining appropriate levels of care, and options for medication management. The discussion will also include how to incorporate services into busy office- and hospital-based practices with a focus on harm reduction.
