SUMMARY:Substance Use Disorders in Late Life
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n  \nPresenters: Roberto D. Sanchez\, DO and Ali Abbas Asghar-Ali\, MD \nTarget Audience: This activity is designed for Psychiatrists\, Physicians\, Physician Assistants\, Nurses/Nurse Practitioners\, Social Workers\, Psychologists\, Pharmacists\, other mental health clinicians working within addiction. This activity is accredited for Physicians\, Physician Assistants\, Social Workers\, Pharmacists\, and Healthcare teams. \nCredit Designations Available: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™\, AAPA Category 1 CME\, Social Work CE Credit\, Pharmacy CE Credit\, Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) Credit \nWebinar Description: The number of older adults is projected to exceed 72.1 million people by 2030 and members of the baby boomer generation have the highest rates of early life substance use which increases likelihood of substance use in later life. With rates of SUDs growing in older individuals\, this population is experiencing mood and anxiety disorders\, sleep disorders\, cognitive impairments\, sleep disruption\, hepatic complications\, and greater physical disability as co-morbid symptoms of substance use and aging. This webinar aims to improve awareness of the occurrence and impact of SUD as well as teach geriatric SUD screening tools. Finally\, the webinar will offer recommendations for pharmacologic and psychosocial treatments for SUD in older adults. \nEducational Objectives: \n\nGain awareness of the occurrence and impact of substance use disorders (SUDs) in late-life.\nEmploy appropriate screening tools to identify SUD in late-life.\nIdentify how SUDs in late-life differ from SUDs in younger adults.\nAdapt pharmacologic treatments for older adults with SUD.\nImplement recommendations for psychosocial treatments for the treatment of SUD.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:How Adding a Clinical Pharmacist Improves Access to Addiction Care
DESCRIPTION:Register here \nPresenters: \nBen Miskle\, PharmD\, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics \nAlison Lynch\, MD\, MS\, University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics \nSponsor: American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) \nCost: No Fee \nTarget audience: Physicians\, nurse practitioners or other advanced practice nurses\, PAs\, social workers\, and pharmacists \nCredit designations available: Pharmacy CE Credit\, AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™\, AAPA Category 1 CME\, Nursing Contact Hours \, Social Work CE Credit\, Interprofessional Continuing Education (IPCE) Credit \nAbout the webinar: There is a shortage of psychiatrists to meet the mental health needs of patients in the United States\, and this shortage was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The incidence of substance use disorders (SUD) increased significantly during the pandemic and there is an insufficient number of physicians trained to meet patient needs. This gap creates problems across the healthcare system for providers\, patients and caregivers. One solution to this problem is integrating other members of the healthcare team to expand access to mental health and substance use treatments. Clinical pharmacists have extensive knowledge on pharmacologic treatment of SUD and are often underutilized resources. This presentation will highlight a successful model of how healthcare professionals can work together to coordinate and optimize care of patients living with SUD. The role of the psychiatric pharmacist as a partner in SUD care in different treatment settings will be explored and discussed. \nEducational objectives:  At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to: \n\nDescribe how health care professionals can successfully work together to coordinate and optimize care of patients with substance use disorders (SUD).\nExamine the role of the pharmacist as a member of the interprofessional SUD team and the impact on patient care outcomes.\nIdentify SUD treatment settings where pharmacists can be integrated and the enhanced services that can be provided.\n\nRegister here

SUMMARY:Nurses’ Practices with People Experiencing Opioid Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \n  \nPresenter: Timothy J. Sowicz\, PhD\, RN \nCost: No Fee \nTarget audience: This activity is designed for for Nurses\, MAT Team Providers\, Addictions Specialists\, SUD Project Directors\, Managers\, and Facilitators. This activity is accredited for nurses. \nCredit Designations Available: Nursing CE \nWebinar description: The purpose of this presentation is to present the findings from a narrative literature review that was conducted to understand nurses’ practices with persons with opioid use disorder (OUD). Nurses are a sizable portion of the healthcare workforce; therefore\, understanding their unique\, disciplinary contributions for people with OUD is important. Twenty-one studies were included in the review and most were non-experimental and conducted in Europe and North America. Nurses’ practices were described with various levels of specificity but aligned well with the scopes of practice of the American Nurses Society and the International Nurses Society on Addictions. \nEducational objectives:  At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to: \n\nDiscuss the methods used for conducting this synthesis research.\nAnalyze professional scope of practice standards for nurses’ work with people with opioid use disorder\nSummarize at least two findings from the review\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Co-occurring Opioid and Stimulant Use Disorders: Treatment and Management Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Register Now \nPresenters: Jonathan Craig Allen\, MD\, FASAM\, and Marc Fishman\, MD \nSponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing–NCMW \nContinuing education information: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™\, Nursing Contact Hours\, AAPA Category 1 CME credit\, SW CE credit\, Pharmacy CE credit and IPCE credit \nTarget Audience: This activity is designed for physicians\, nurses\, PAs\, pharmacists\, social workers\, peer recovery support specialists\, psychologists\, other behavioral health providers. This activity is accredited for physicians\, nurses\, PAs\, pharmacists\, social workers\, interprofessional teams and other health professionals. \nAbout the webinar: Research indicates a lack of training and programming specific to treating and managing co-occurring opioid and stimulant use disorders\, despite the increased risk of overdose bolstered by the ever-changing and adulterated drug supply. While MOUD is the gold standard of care for treating OUD\, there are no FDA-approved medications for treating stimulant use disorder\, though behavioral therapies like contingency management have been well studied. These challenges highlight the need to identify promising treatment strategies to ensure individuals with co-occurring opioid and stimulant use disorders are effectively engaged in care to prevent overdose. This session will equip BH providers and organizations in this space\, including Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs)\, with the tools necessary to effectively engage and provide quality\, team-based care and services to individuals with co-occurring opioid and stimulant use disorders in order to improve health outcomes\, reduce overdose risk\, and support long-term recovery. \nEducational objectives: \n\nDescribe the broad context of co-occurring opioid and stimulant use and overdose risk in the U.S.\nReview evidence-based strategies for treating opioid use disorders and promising practices for stimulant use\nIdentify evidence-based and promising strategies for treating co-occurring opioid and stimulant use disorders\nReview psychiatric co-morbidities associated with opioid and stimulant use disorders\n\nRegister Now
