Guiding Clinicians: Expert Advice on Addiction Treatment from the NCCC

The most rewarding part is creating a community of practice for clinicians out there, especially those who are working in rural areas and helping to support them, and let them know that they're not alone when they're taking care of patients with substance use disorder and working on the warm line.
Imagine being a doctor faced with a complex addiction case and not knowing where to turn for advice. In this episode of 'High Truths on Drugs and Addiction', Dr. Roneet Lev sits down with four leading experts from the National Clinician Consultation Center (NCCC). This invaluable resource offers free, on-demand advice to healthcare providers across the U.S., much like a specialized National Poison Center focused on addiction. Dr. Mishka Terplan, Dr. Trevonne DeFreeze, Dr. Andrea Hunt, and Dr.
Andrea Rubinstein share their experiences and expertise, covering a range of crucial topics. They dive into the use of buprenorphine and methadone in emergency settings, strategies for managing neonatal abstinence syndrome, and innovative approaches to treating alcohol use disorder with off-label medications. The conversation also touches on the unique challenges faced by clinicians in rural areas and the vital role of community support.
The NCCC's multidisciplinary team has provided over 3,000 consultations, helping clinicians navigate complex cases and improve patient outcomes. This episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how these experts support their peers, making it an essential listen for any healthcare provider dealing with addiction treatment. You'll hear about the practicalities of initiating buprenorphine in emergency departments, managing withdrawal in older adults with multiple health issues, and providing care for pregnant and parenting individuals with substance use disorders.
The discussion also highlights the importance of community building and the rewards of being a clinician consultant. Whether you're a seasoned healthcare provider or new to the field, this episode provides valuable insights into the world of addiction treatment and the support available through the NCCC. Tune in to learn how these experts are revolutionizing care and offering hope to both patients and clinicians alike.
