    Overall I have really enjoyed these sessions. As someone who’s been practicing addiction for a while, it’s refreshing to hear from the national leaders. Would recommend meat and potatoes discussions which could be shared with learners and other docs trying to get a sense of where to start.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Treating Alcohol Use Disorder: Medication Considerations and Goals Beyond Abstinence
Q: Can you discuss the role of psychosocial treatments and mutual aid alongside medications?
Medications and psychosocial treatments work best together; mutual-help groups, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and digital therapies can reinforce medication adherence and support recovery. It's important to offer options and allow patients to choose a combination that fits their preferences, ensuring that pharmacotherapy is not blocked by stigma or lack of access.
Treating Alcohol Use Disorder: Medication Considerations and Goals Beyond Abstinence
Q: How should clinicians decide which medication is right for a given patient?
Treatment should be individualized rather than cookie-cutter; consider the patient's comorbidities (e.g., renal or liver disease), prior responses to medications, access to adherence supports (e.g., network therapy or injectable formulations), and the patient's goals (abstinence versus harm reduction). A shared decision-making approach with education about risks and benefits is essential.
Treating Alcohol Use Disorder: Medication Considerations and Goals Beyond Abstinence
Q: What are the main FDA-approved treatment options for AUD and how do they work?
The three FDA-approved medications are acamprosate (glutamate modulation to reduce craving), disulfiram (aversive, causing unpleasant effects when alcohol is consumed), and naltrexone (opioid-receptor antagonism that reduces cravings and heavy drinking; available oral or injectable). Each has proven safety and efficacy over decades, and clinicians should tailor choices to the individual patient based on comorbidities and preferences.
Neurologic-Informed Care: Integrating Brain Injury Awareness into Addiction Medicine
Q: What kinds of accommodations have you seen work well in group or therapy settings?
Environmental tweaks (lower lights, quieter spaces), shorter sessions, allowing hands-on activities, and encouraging patients to retell information in their own words. Using mixed media and ensuring reading materials are accessible also enhances engagement for those with cognitive weaknesses.
Neurologic-Informed Care: Integrating Brain Injury Awareness into Addiction Medicine
Q: What practical screening methods do you recommend for identifying cognitive impairments in treatment settings?
Use two-part screening: first, self-reported history of brain injuries and functional implications; second, simple cognitive screening when feasible. The HELPS self-report tool is helpful, and questions about loss of consciousness, dazed states, memory gaps, and recurrence across time are emphasized.
