1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™
People with Borderline Personality Disorder are commonly treated in settings that are primarily focused on Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment, representing over 25% of patients by some estimates. Addiction treatment providers benefit from knowledge about how best to help this important group of people. This webinar will review the evidence supporting different clinical approaches, and provide practical strategies that can be implemented in a variety of SUD treatment settings.
At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
- Describe 2 evidence-based treatments that were developed for the treatment of people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD)
- Describe a practical approach to medication treatment of people with co-occurring BPD and SUD
- Name one potential benefit of engaging patients who have BPD in structured treatment rather than less structured approaches
The Addiction Psychiatry Advanced Psychotherapy Curriculum on-demand sessions, developed by the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) in collaboration with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) and NYU School of Medicine, are a great way to keep up to date with best practices in patient management on your own schedule.
Course directors for this program are Christopher Blazes, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at OHSU, and David Stiffler, MD, Associate Professor of Psychiatry at NYU.
