Sedative Use Disorder: Reviewing Best Practice Models of Care and Taper Strategies

Sunday, April 7, 2024
10:15 AM – 11:30 AM  
Management of sedative use disorders remains an area of unmet need within the field of Addiction Medicine. This workshop will give participants an opportunity to review the available literature and guidance on the management of this challenging disorder, while introducing new and innovative models of care. Conducted using cased-based and small group learning, this interactive workshop will encourage participants to consider and overcome barriers to sedative use disorder treatment within their own systems of care.

Learning Objectives:

Learners will be able to:
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to describe current strategies for sedative use disorder management and describe the group medical model of care developed at Cooper.
  • Upon completion participants will be able to define the common barriers to care and list common treatment challenges and pitfalls in the administration of treatment for sedative use disorders.
  • Upon completion, participants will be able to conduct an evaluation of their own home healthcare systems and describe strategies for improving sedative use disorder care within those systems.
