Statement of Need:
Today's patients and their families are struggling with serious addictions, co-occurring psychiatric disorders, and significant medical comorbidities. They need help to heal the physical, emotional, and spiritual damage resulting from the disease of addiction. Studies have shown that patients with alcohol dependence and comorbid psychiatric problems benefit from professionally delivered psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and greater intensity of structure.
To accomplish these goals, treatment centers need to focus on individualized, assessment-driven strategies that take place within a multidisciplinary treatment team. Each team needs to establish a common language and adhere to a common, evidence-based treatment modality that allows peer supervision and individual planning for each patient's needs over the continuum of care.
Cohesive leadership is necessary to introduce and carry through major change such as the integration of pharmacotherapy into an abstinence-based program for alcohol dependence. Recommendation by a Professional Advisory Board and acceptance from the Board of Directors can begin the process. Multiple training opportunities then follow to educate staff on the efficacy and clinical usefulness of pharmacotherapy.
This interactive webcast with Q&A focuses on effectively managing change in a large treatment center to promote improved outcomes for patients with alcohol dependence.
