Drug Use in Hospital Settings: Why it Happens and How We Respond
Recorded: Thursday, March 31, 2022 - Sunday, April 3, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, on-demand session from the ASAM 53rd Annual Conference describes approaches to addressing in-hospital substance use in a patient-centered non-stigmatizing way.
Unprescribed substance use during hospitalization is common among people with substance use disorders. During this workshop session, presenters will describe the approaches to in-hospital substance use of their respective institutions. Subsequently, workshop participants will work in small groups to discuss potential best practices on in-hospital substance use, how their own institutions respond to in-hospital substance use, and whether changes to the current approach are needed. Participants will consider steps that they can take on an individual and at a system level, and which stakeholders they should include. Small groups will be invited to share key points from their discussions with the broader audience.
The target audience for this Intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care and Procedural Skills, Practice-based Learning and Improvement, Interpersonal and Communication Skills, Professionalism, System Based Practice.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Describe reasons patients use substances in hospital settings.
- Explain varying hospital responses to inpatient drug use.
- List one proposed change they would like to implement in their own institution.
