Impact of Alcohol Use on Opioid and Stimulant Overdoses: Implications for Screening and Treatment
Despite alcohol being the most widely misused substance in the United States, significant treatment gaps exist for patients with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), largely due to a lack of knowledge among healthcare providers about screening, diagnosing, and treating AUD. Polysubstance use involving alcohol is a major public health and clinical concern, and alcohol use is often under-recognized when other drugs are present. This webinar aims to:
- Describe the epidemiology of alcohol use among those who use opioids and stimulants.
- Examine the concurrent drugs present in polysubstance overdoses involving alcohol compared to those without alcohol.
- Discuss the implications of AUD screening and treatment in the emergency department, especially in the context of opioid or stimulant overdoses.
