This 60-minute webinar recording with Joshua Borris explores integrating AUD treatment into palliative care and solutions to improve access to and experiences of palliative care and MAUD.
Integrating Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder into Palliative Care
Host: National Council for Mental Wellbeing
Recorded: April 8, 2025
Enduring TrainingOverview
Providing palliative care to individuals with a history of alcohol use or alcohol use disorder (AUD) requires understanding the various characteristics, comorbidities, impacts and treatments for AUD, including medications for AUD (MAUD).
Up to 28% of inpatient palliative care patients have experienced challenges with alcohol use, and a large percentage of them (67% to 87%) are first identified as having a history of alcohol dependence when they enter into the palliative care setting. Because of associated and comorbid conditions, and the perceived risks associated with them, medications for AUD (MAUD) often remain underused within palliative care settings. Improving access to person-centered palliative care for people with AUD would allow clinicians to consider these factors as a part of a holistic, multidisciplinary, person-centered care approach to treating AUD and other associated and comorbid conditions.
This webinar explores integrating AUD treatment into palliative care and solutions to improve access to and experiences of palliative care and MAUD. Learners will hear from a pharmacology and palliative care expert about MAUD, palliative care and the benefits of combining the two.
This course is not eligible for credit.
The target audience for this intermediate level activity includes: All types of healthcare professionals.
The ACGME Competencies include: Patient Care and Procedural Skills and Medical Knowledge.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Review how palliative care fits into the management of patients with AUD.
- Determine therapeutic considerations when selecting MAUD for palliative care patients.
- Identify three ways in which palliative care can support patients with AUD.
