2024 ACMT Symposium | Substance Use Disorder in Adolescents and Young Adults: Unique Challenges

April 11, 2024
Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, DC

Join the American College of Medical Toxicology (ACMT) and the Maryland-DC Society of Addiction Medicine (MDDCSAM) on Thursday, April 11, 2024 for a Symposium on "Substance Use Disorder in Adolescents and Young Adults: Unique Challenges." 

Adolescents comprise approximately 15% of the population, and the number of adolescents who use non-prescribed substances is staggering, with about 2.08 million (8.33%) of 12- to 17-year-olds nationwide reporting use within the past month. Non-prescribed substance use increased 61% among 8 the graders between 2016 and 2020. Unfortunately, treatment resources are limited and there is a lack of exposure to training physicians in the treatment of these patients. Additionally, there are unique challenges within this patient population, including the on-going brain development throughout puberty and adolescence that can impact decision making and substance use. Many who are exposed to illicit substances in youth progress to develop substance use disorders as adults.The increasing novelty of substances of abuse, the rise of fentanyl and marijuana use in the adolescent population, and the overall lack of adequate treatment for this group (including medication-assisted therapy) will increase the need to have informed providers to care for this population. 

This symposium gathers experts, researchers, and healthcare professionals to explore the unique challenges surrounding adolescent substance use, including biologic differences in adolescents, psychological motivational differences, medication recommendations and therapeutic interventions, and trauma-informed care of this patient population. The educational event is tailored for medical toxicologists, addiction medicine specialists, pediatricians, psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and all healthcare providers dedicated to improving the lives of young individuals battling substance use disorders.

Learning Objective 1
Understand the epidemiology and trends of adolescent SUD in the United States.

Learning Objective 2
Identify the biological and psychological factors that differentiate adolescents from adults in the context of substance use.

Learning Objective 3
Explore multifaceted SUD treatment approaches and gain greater insight into how to tailor treatment plans to meet the unique needs of adolescent patients struggling with substance use.

Overview

This final follow-up meeting will discuss the future of intentional overdose research in medical toxicology, including strategies for sustainability of patient engagement throughout the research process.

Project Objectives

• Educate medical toxicology researchers and patients on PCOR/CER collaborations for intentional overdoses
• Develop a collaborative partnership of patient experts and stakeholders to engage in intentional overdose focused PCOR/CER
• Create and develop research priorities for PCOR/CER on intentional overdoses

About the Project

Titled "Confronting the Overdose Epidemic by Engaging Patients to Improve Medical Toxicology Research," this project aims to develop a connection between patients and medical toxicology researchers to advance patient-centered outcomes research on intentional overdoses. It consists of 5 separate, live activities. Activities will consist of virtual one-on-one meetings with patients and the project lead; listening and interactive virtual meetings with patient experts, stakeholders and researchers; and virtual training sessions on how to collaborate toward PCOR/CER for intentional overdoses.

• Town Hall Research Training Part 1
• Town Hall Research Training Part 2
• Interactive Session 1
• Interactive Session 2

Attendees can register for each activity separately as meets their needs or interest, or sign up for the 5-activity package.
