Presenter(s): Amy M. Yule, MD, Director of Adolescent Addiction Psychiatry at Boston Medical Center; Assistant Professor in Psychiatry at Boston University School of Medicine
Target Audience: Physicians, nurse practitioners or other advanced practice nurses, PAs, psychologists, social workers, and healthcare teams.
Webinar Description: Adolescents and young adults may display vastly different behaviors of substance use disorders. Their brains are still in development and therefore the exhibition of substance use patterns of behavior may not be as easily recognizable when compared to their older adult counterparts. This webinar intends to highlight that medication for opioid use treatment is a key component of their recovery. However, this presentation will equip providers with additional support plan models to implement within their practices, including a reduction in reliance on office-setting care and a greater emphasis on family-based, school-based programs and mutual peer support help organizations.
Educational Objectives:
- Identify family-based interventions for adolescents with substance use disorders.
- Describe school-based recovery programs for young people with substance use disorders.
- Describe the research regarding participation in mutual help groups among young people with substance use disorders.
