We have made such incredible improvements in how we treat opiate use disorder with medication...it's time to do the same with alcohol use disorder. So...in this lecture I tried to convince my colleagues that we need to start routinely treating patients with alcohol use disorder with medication for alcohol use disorder.
Picture this: you're in the emergency room, and a patient presents with severe alcohol withdrawal. What if there was a way to treat them as effectively as we do for opiate use disorder? In this bonus episode, Dr. Casey Grover delivers a compelling lecture on why it's high time we start treating alcohol use disorder with the same rigor and medication-based approach as opiate use disorder. Dr.
Grover, an expert in emergency medicine, argues that many patients with alcohol use disorder are left untreated, and this needs to change. He passionately discusses the benefits and risks of medications like disulfiram, naltrexone, and Gabapentin, drawing from his own experiences to illustrate remarkable improvements in patient health and wellbeing. This episode is a wake-up call for the medical community, urging them to adopt harm reduction strategies and integrate medication into routine treatment for alcohol use disorder.
Whether you're a healthcare professional or someone interested in addiction treatment, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice that could make a real difference in patient care.
