The ASAM Alcohol Withdrawal Management Guideline Webinar Series
Alcohol is responsible for a multitude of health conditions, including Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome (AWS). While frequently presented in specialty addiction treatment settings, patients experiencing or at risk for developing AWS also receive care in hospitals, emergency departments, and primary care settings. The current management of patients with AWS is inconsistent across care settings and evidence-based care is often not provided. The ASAM Clinical Practice Guideline on Alcohol Withdrawal Management was developed to address current practice concerns and provide clear guidance that will lead to more consistent treatment practices in the field. The series is primarily intended for clinicians who provide alcohol withdrawal management in specialty and non-specialty addiction treatment settings.
All webinars in the series will be free for ASAM members to join live and watch the recorded on-demand session. For non-ASAM members, it will be free to join live and watch on-demand webinars for 90-days after the live webinar date. Following the 90 days, non-ASAM members can purchase the on-demand webinars for $39 each or at a discounted price for the entire 5-webinar package. The first webinar focused on the Fundamentals will continue to be free for everyone.
