Addressing the Barriers to Medical Treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) has a significant burden on patients and their loved ones. AUD is treatable with medication and psychosocial counseling; however, patients with AUD are undertreated particularly in the primary care setting. This case challenge activity will replicate real-world practice and provide evidence-based treatment recommendations for AUD, including pharmacotherapy, along with supporting expert commentary. Gain confidence in identifying and managing patients with AUD by accessing these simulated case-based challenges. Reduce uncertainty surrounding addiction care and motivate your patients to follow through with seeking, recommending, and adhering to treatment.
