Recorded: Thursday, October 17, 2024 - Friday, October 18, 2024
On-Demand Session
Overview
According to the CDC, from 2012 through 2020 in the United States, the number of deaths involving methamphetamine increased more than 6-fold while the number of deaths involving cocaine more than tripled. This session will focus on the prevention and treatment of stimulant use disorders and will discuss topics such as new clinical practice guidelines, novel pharmacotherapies, methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorders, and more.
This session is comprised of 4 presentations that deep dive into different aspects of the overall topic.
- Novel Approaches to the Prevention and Treatment of Stimulant Use Disorders
This presentation will summarize prevention and treatment recommendations from the new ASAM/AAAP Clinical Practice Guideline on the Management of Stimulant Use Disorder. Key takeaways from the guideline will be discussed. Topics for discussion will include behavioral and pharmacological treatments, co-occurring conditions, management of stimulant intoxication and withdrawal, and secondary and tertiary prevention strategies to reduce harms associated with risky stimulant use. - Mosaic Approaches to Understanding ADHD and Stimulant Use Disorders
This session provides an overview of ADHD, including diagnostic criteria and key characteristics, with a focus on understanding the overlap between ADHD and substance use disorders. Participants will explore methods to reduce stimulant misuse and examine the trajectories of substance use disorders in individuals with ADHD. The discussion will also highlight how the COVID-19 pandemic shifted diversion sources among adolescents and young adults, emphasizing the evolving nature of these challenges. - BEAT Meth: New Findings for Advancing Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment
The pathophysiology of methamphetamine addiction--including its intense biological reinforcement and symptom profile--poses challenges for prevention and treatment. Attendees will hear original findings from BEAT Meth, a CDC-funded project that applies a multifaceted public health approach to addressing methamphetamine addiction. These findings include strategies to describe methamphetamine-related healthcare utilization; diagnostic criteria for methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorders; and adaptation of contingency management to support linkage to care. - Development of Dual-Acting Sigma and Dopamine Transporter Inhibitors as Potential Pharmacotherapy for Stimulant Use Disorders
This session will describe a novel pharmacotherapy mechanism of treating stimulant use disorder. The attendees will be able to explain the necessity for the dual mechanism of action in the drugs ability to attenuate rodents from self-administering cocaine. This session will also demonstrate the success of this concept, the challenges that are still ahead with drug development, and the potential for this treatment to be game changing as an aid in the treatment of stimulant use disorders.
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.
