Concurrent Treatment of PTSD and SUD: Prolonged Exposure vs. MDMA-Assisted Therapy
Recorded: Thursday, April 4, 2024 to Sunday, April 7, 2024
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 55th Annual Conference addresses the general procedures and processes involved in two specific PTSD protocols: Prolonged Exposure therapy and MDMA-Assisted Therapy.
PTSD and SUD are highly co-occurring disorders, associated with increased rates of suicide, healthcare utilization, psychosocial impairments, and poorer SUD treatment response. Reductions in PTSD symptoms demonstrably lead to reductions in substance use, but at present, treatments for these highly comorbid disorders are not integrated; patients typically receive treatment for only one of the two mutually reinforcing disorders, making positive change less likely. This session will explore the safety and efficacy of concurrent treatments, including Prolonged Exposure and MDMA-assisted treatment.
The target audience for this Advanced level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Medical Knowledge, Practice-based Learning and Improvement
This session addresses the following ICPE Competencies:Values and Ethics, Teams and Teamwork
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Describe the general procedures and processes involved in two specific PTSD protocols: Prolonged Exposure therapy and MDMA-Assisted Therapy
- Contrast the putative mechanisms of action and change in Prolonged Exposure vs. MDMA-AT
- Define the potential adverse effects of two distinct treatment approaches to PTSD in an SUD population, and list potential cautionary steps to consider when conducting these treatments
