This course simplifies the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria for substance use disorders into a clear, easy-to-learn format - making it easier to assess and diagnose accurately (no memorization marathons required). More importantly, it focuses on the real-world skills every clinician needs to shine as a true "rock-star" assessor. The DSM-5 shook things up by revamping diagnostic criteria, restructuring categories, and introducing Substance Use Disorder as a unified diagnosis. This course is grounded in these gold-standard updates because, well, they matter. Yes, the DSM-5-TR introduced a text revision that offered some touch-ups - but nothing that shifted the landscape for substance use assessment. And while diagnostic manuals will change and evolve, this course is focused on timeless assessment skills that remain essential across all settings, client populations, and DSM editions. You'll Learn: The biggest barriers to accurately assessing and how to overcome them; How to ask meaningful questions and build rapport; How to work effectively with clients who are resistant, guarded, or defensive; Methods to guide conversations that lead to honest, insightful responses; The Stages of Addiction and how to use them for prevention and treatment planning; How to navigate and translate the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders. This course is applicable for practitioners of all levels, as well as prevention professionals. Course content applies to various client populations (i.e., addiction, mental health, etc.) and is relevant for services provided in a variety of settings (clinics, shelters, jails, etc.).

This 1-hour credit course is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education and Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education. According to the 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, approximately 3.8 million people (1.4% of those ages 12 or older) reported misusing prescription pain relievers while another 329,000 people reported using heroin. Within the same year, 52,404 lethal overdoses took place, making drug overdose the leading cause of accidental death within the United States. Stancliff et al estimated that as of 2012, approximately 80% of people dependent on heroin or prescription opioids were not engaged in any treatment and many in treatment do not use the most effective medication-assisted treatments available to them. Despite recent increased awareness of opioid use disorder (OUD) and efforts to improve access to care, several barriers to treatment still exist, including financial, geographic, regulatory, and social. In 2012, only 2.2% of physicians in the United States obtained waivers to prescribe buprenorphine for the treatment of OUD. Of those who received waivers, 41.6% were psychiatrists. This may be perceived as a potential barrier to OUD treatment as patients are often resistant to referrals to psychiatric and/or addiction clinics given the stigmas commonly surrounding addiction and mental health. Furthermore, physicians with waivers were found to practice primarily in urban settings, leaving a large portion of the rural population without access to buprenorphine treatment. With all this in mind, education is needed in regards to current and emerging treatment options for OUD available to multiple patient populations. Also, with the deaths due to drug overdoses still elevated, education on how to recognize and reverse an opioid overdose is needed. This presentation will address the above needs by discussing the science behind opioid use disorder as well as reflect upon current statistics associated with its impact on the United States. During the discussion, opioid overdose risks will be discussed and participants will be able to practice recognizing key symptoms of an overdose situation. Steps of using naloxone will be discussed and connected to how to appropriately seek out treatment for maintenance of opioid use disorder. Finally, new buprenorphine products and the potential role of naltrexone will be applied to this stigmatized population. This self-paced course is available online through any device with internet access. There are unlimited test attempts and no time limit for completion.
