CCBHC ECHO Session: Cannabis Use Disorder - Tuesday, August 27, 2024

CCBHC ECHO Session: Cannabis Use Disorder

Host: National Council / American Society of Addiction Medicine
Tuesday, August 27, 2024| 3:30pm - 5:00pm ET
Virtual ECHO Session

Overview

The Monitoring the Future panel study (2022) marked the highest historical levels of reported cannabis use in the following categories: past-year use for adults aged 19 to 30, daily use for adults aged 19 to 30, and past-year use for adults aged 35-50. Americans are using Cannabis now, in more states and communities, in more ways and for more reasons, than ever. We, in the treating community, must adapt. We must recognize that we will see more Cannabis use among our patients. Whether that use is harmless, helpful, or hurtful, the pendulum of public opinion, legislation, and evidenced-based guidance will swing. In this session, providers will gain a working understanding of Cannabis Use Disorder, including its diagnostic criteria and considerations, severity and risk ratings, and harm reduction strategies. We will facilitate a case-based discussion to apply appropriate patient-centered best practices, as well as explore and reduce provider bias.

CCBHC-E NTTAC has partnered with ASAM to provide a 6-session CCBHC ECHO on substance use. This 1.5-hour, virtual ECHO series offers a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of actual patient cases submitted by attendees. Participants can look forward to receiving guidance and feedback from a diverse panel of expert faculty. This program is tailored for professionals new to the field of addiction treatment, providing them with the means to enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence. This introductory program is specifically designed for CCBHC grant recipients, including social workers, therapists, and additional clinical team members involved in patient care. Register for each session today!

Each ECHO session includes:

• A 30-minute presentation focused on a selected topic related to addiction.
• Two 20-minute interactive case discussions led by a team of interdisciplinary addiction experts.
• The opportunity to earn up to 1.5 continuing education (CE) credits for each session

This introductory program is specifically designed for CCBHC grant recipients, including social workers, therapists, and additional clinical team members involved in patient care.
