Managing Alcohol Use Disorder in Primary Care Settings
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is the most common substance use disorder in the U.S. and a leading cause of preventable death, yet effective clinical interventions remain underutilized in primary care settings. This webinar will explore strategies to close this treatment gap. Participants will learn about evidence-based medications for AUD, examine how to integrate Certified Recovery Specialists and Behavioral Health Consultants into care teams, and analyze real-world clinical applications through case-based discussions.
