Speaker: Lydia Bartholow, DNP, PMHNP. One click orders parts A and B of this 3-hour presentation. This workshop takes the participant on an overview of most things related to addiction and substance use disorders. Part A: The common substances of misuse are described (emphasis on opioids), and how finding and addressing the root causes of addiction in the neurobiology of trauma can offer a new approach to treatment. We examine real-life scenarios in working with people with substance use disorders in a homeless health care clinic and review the barriers and benefits to utilization of herbal therapies for use disorders. These are discussed in Part B.
