Substance Use Disorders in Late Life
Substance Use Disorders in Late Life
Presenter(s): Roberto D. Sanchez, DO and Ali Abbas Asghar-Ali, MD
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.

How Adding a Clinical Pharmacist Improves Access to Addiction Care
How Adding a Clinical Pharmacist Improves Access to Addiction Care
Presenter(s): Ben Miskle, PharmD and Alison Lynch, MD, MS
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 health care system for providers, patients, and caregivers. One solution to this problem is integrating other members of the health care 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 health care 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.

Nurses’ Practices with People Experiencing Opioid Use Disorder
Nurses’ Practices with People Experiencing Opioid Use Disorder
Presenter(s): Timothy J. Sowicz, PhD, RN
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 health care 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.

Co-occurring Opioid and Stimulant Use Disorders: Treatment and Management Approaches
Co-occurring Opioid and Stimulant Use Disorders: Treatment and Management Approaches
Presenter(s): Jonathan Craig Allen, MD, FASAM, and Marc Fishman, MD
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.
