Alcohol
Recorded: Thursday, October 17, 2024 - Friday, October 18, 2024
On-Demand Session
Overview
According to 2023 national data, 10% of individuals ages 12 and older met criteria for an alcohol use disorder (AUD) in the past year. This indicates an urgent need for effective and innovative approaches to meet the needs of this large treatment population. This session will examine new research on AUD treatment, including spironolactone, psychedelics, GLP-1, and technology-assisted approaches.
This session is comprised of 4 presentations that deep dive into different aspects of the overall topic.
- Spironolactone in Alcohol Addiction: A Translational Approach
This session will review recent work conducted in animal models, including mice, rats, and non-human primates, as well as recent work in humans, including in people with alcohol use disorder, that has been conducted on (1) the relationship between aldosterone and alcohol drinking and dependence, and (2) the potential role of spironolactone in alcohol use disorder. - Psychedelics for the Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder
The session will describe the results of completed trials of investigational psychedelic medications in the treatment to alcohol use disorder. Evidence for safety and efficacy will be evaluated, and possible mechanisms of action will be discussed based on currently available data. The prevention will also discuss possible next steps toward clinical use and safe and equitable dissemination of new treatments should they become available for clinical use. - Repurposing the Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist Semaglutide to Treat Alcohol Use Disorder
Anecdotal reports of the efficacy of semaglutide and other Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists as medical therapies for obesity have garnered widespread public attention, engendering ethical debates and leading to worldwide drug shortages. This brief presentation will update participants about the National Institute on Drug Abuse Intramural Research Program's ongoing early phase clinical trial studying the exciting possibility of repurposing semaglutide to treat patients with alcohol use disorder. - Technology-Assisted Approaches to Facilitate Remotely Delivered Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment
This session will provide an overview of recent research that has involved remotely delivered alcohol use disorder treatment. Covered topics will include the key elements of treatment delivery that can be facilitated by technology, the types of devices and their features that have been useful for this research, and results from randomized clinical trials employing these techniques. Overall, results will demonstrate that technology-assisted approaches to alcohol use disorder treatment delivery can demonstrate high degrees of efficacy while overcoming some of the treatment-access barriers associated with in-person treatments.
These sessions are intended for experienced learners and are taught an intermediate or advanced level. The target audience includes:
- Addiction medicine specialists who are interested in the latest research in the field and its translation to clinical practice
- Physicians and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with addiction and seek an advanced level of knowledge
- Scientists, researchers, public health officials and advocates dedicated to the field of addiction medicine
This conference addresses all 6 ACGME Competencies.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Discuss the important, new, scientific breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction.
- Critically evaluate new science and describe how it changes the current understanding of addiction and co-occurring medical or psychiatric disorders.
- Develop practical applications for integrating new and emerging science into practice.
- Identify gaps in the field of addiction medicine that future research can address.
- Create a network of colleagues and resources to support the learner's practice or form future research collaborations.
DEA Education Requirement
As an accredited organization named in Section 1263 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023, ASAM certifies that completion of this course meets 2 hours of the DEA requirement for 8 hours of education on substance use disorder(s).
