Approaching the topic of alcohol use with patients in a nonjudgmental, conversational manner can build rapport and trust.
How do we tackle the stigma surrounding alcohol use disorder and provide effective care? This episode of the Addiction Practice Pod dives into this pressing issue with hosts Dr. Roland Engelbrecht and David Ball. They’re joined by Dr. Bernie Pauly from The Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research, who sheds light on the importance of understanding substance use as a response to deeper issues.
Harm reduction, as she explains, is about minimizing the negative impacts of alcohol use without necessarily insisting on complete abstinence. Jennifer Cattell brings a personal touch to the discussion, sharing her experiences supporting loved ones with alcohol use disorder. She emphasizes the need for policy changes and education to better support both those struggling and their families.
The episode also explores how healthcare providers can build trust and rapport with patients by discussing alcohol use in a non-judgmental and open manner. If you're interested in practical insights on treating alcohol use disorder and creating supportive environments, this episode is a must-listen.
