About This Workshop
This training module will continue our study of psychopharmacological considerations and treatment in special populations. In this class, the emphasis is on the biopsychosocial aspects of Substance Use Disorders (SUDS). Addiction is a primary, chronic, neurobiological disease, with genetic, psychosocial, and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestations. Addiction is characterized by behaviors that include one or more of the following: impaired control over drug use, compulsive use, continued use despite harm, and craving. Basic science and core concepts include brain reward circuitry, epidemiology, and pharmacology. The drug groups that will be discussed in detail: alcohol /sedative hypnotics; opioids; nicotine; cannabis; cocaine/amphetamines; psychedelics and NPS (New Psychoactive Substances). Within each group, we will review the background/history, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicities and the current treatment of addiction.
