Overview

This 45-minute, on-demand session from the ASAM 2024 Review Course addresses stimulants by describing their methods of use, pharmacological effects, and clinical approaches to treating adverse effects and stimulant use disorder.

While addiction treatment providers continue to fight the opioid overdose epidemic, there has been a growing resurgence in stimulant use. This session is designed to describe the methods of use, pharmacological effects, and molecular mechanisms of action for stimulant drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine and newer "bath salts" cathinones. The presenter will also discuss clinical approaches for treating adverse effects and stimulant use disorders.

This activity addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, and Practice-Based Learning.
