United StatesSUD treatment often falls into one of two broad categories: abstinence-based or medication-assisted treatment. Unfortunately, the decision to guide a client to one or the other approach is not always based on current scientific evidence. This session will present current advances in differential therapeutics (which treatment for different clients), scientific advances in medication therapy and science-based monitoring as considerations in selecting SUD treatment for individual clients to optimize outcomes.
