WOL855 – Where Did All the Meth Come From? Strategies and Tactics for Managing the Next Drug Epidemic
Training fee: Free to attend, $25 for attendance and CEs/certificate
Instructor: Mark G. Fuller, MD, FACP, FASAM
Along with the alarming number of annual drug overdose deaths, methamphetamine – related ones have increased by 300%. The recent penetration of methamphetamines into all sectors of the population has resulted in an unprecedented number of overdoses and demand for treatment. Methamphetamine is an addictive and potent central nervous system stimulant with powerful effects on the human mind. Unlike opioids and alcohol, methamphetamine use disorder has no FDA approved pharmacologic treatment. And, as individuals suffering from this disorder flood into treatment settings, many clinicians find themselves unprepared to implement effective treatment strategies. This workshop will address the factors behind the current epidemic while identifying the most effective treatment and policy strategies for addressing this crisis.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Define the key contributors to the current wave of methamphetamine use in the U.S.
- Compare and contrast the various clinical interventions for effectively addressing stimulant use disorder.
- Assess the effectiveness of current drug policy for this epidemic.
