    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.

Gambling and Sports Betting Addiction: Screening and Interventions
Q: What steps should a clinician take if we've got a patient in front of us who has gambling addiction or one that we suspect might have a gambling addiction?
Begin with raising awareness of how prevalent gambling and risky financial activities are, incorporate structured screening questions (including validated tools), and then conduct a DSM-5–style interview to assess severity. If issues persist or initial treatments don't work, consider screening for co-occurring disorders and discuss a biopsychosocial plan that includes referral to specialized gambling therapists, telehealth options, and harm-reduction goals.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: What do you do once the patient is stabilized?
Engage the patient, motivate treatment, reduce harm, and link to evidence-based treatments if a substance use disorder is present.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: What is the biggest myth about the agitated patient?
That an awake, yelling patient is stable; agitation signals something critically wrong and requires thorough evaluation for multiple potential causes.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: How do nitrous oxide users present and how should they be treated?
Look for functional B12 deficiency with gait instability and sensory signs; aggressive B12 supplementation and relevant labs are important.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: How do you handle GHB coma?
Support the airway and breathing; there is no antidote, and the coma typically reverses as GHB clears from the system, with withdrawal possible in heavy, daily users.
