Medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) are highly effective in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). However, they remain grossly underutilized, particularly for patients with alcohol-associated liver disease. This session will build foundational knowledge and healthcare professionals’ capacity to navigate the nuanced realm of prescribing MAUD for individuals with liver disease. The presenters will highlight evidence-based strategies, pharmacologic modalities, and clinical approaches that successfully maintain the delicate balance between effective AUD treatment and management and the safeguarding of liver function.
