Statement of Need
Persistent gaps in addiction treatment, including understanding co-occurring disorders, integrating pharmacotherapy effectively, and promoting cultural competence, underscore the need for an event focused on addiction treatments. Practitioners often lack knowledge in evidence-based practices, trauma-informed care, and stigma reduction. An event addressing these gaps would facilitate discussions to enhance addiction care, improving outcomes for individuals affected by addiction.
Learning Objectives
- Classify the current research status and evidence base for addiction treatments.
- Appraise proposed psychological and biological mechanisms of action for emerging therapies.
- Identify key stakeholders across research, industry, policy, and patient experience domains that must collaborate to advance new addiction treatment options.
- Assess challenges, limitations, and next steps needed in bringing breakthrough addiction treatments through clinical trials and FDA approval.
Financial Support
There is no commercial support associated with this educational activity.
Target Audience
Psychiatrists, primary care physicians, psychologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, psychiatric nurses, behavioral health professionals and other healthcare professionals who seek to improve the treatment of patients with mental health disorders.

11:00 Morning Break
11:30 Unraveling The Relationship Between Pain and Addiction
Clinical trials for addictions and chronic pain often exclude participants with overlapping conditions, leaving a critical gap in understanding the interplay between pain and addiction. This session delves into the underappreciated connection between these two prevalent issues. By addressing the profound relationship between pain and addiction, we can develop more comprehensive strategies for assisting individuals in their recovery journey. Failing to address the root pain, whether emotional or physical, that initially led individuals to seek drugs can hinder the effectiveness of addiction treatment.
