Treatment for Novel Psychoactive Substances
Michael Weaver, MD, DFASAM, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston

Patterns of drug use are constantly changing, particularly regarding new psychoactive substances, which can be challenging to identify and treat effectively, especially serious medical and psychiatric complications. This is important for practitioners, as new designer drugs have resulted in multiple deaths, as well as other significant health consequences to users. This session will educate practitioners about several new drug use trends and their health consequences. By attending you should be able to identify emerging psychoactive substances, including kratom, phenibut, synthetic cannabinoids, and others, and discuss treatment of medical and psychiatric complications resulting from use of emerging substances of abuse.

Perinatal Cannabis
Lulu Zhao, MD, FACOG, FASAM, Director of RISE-Moms, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center

Cannabis use in America has increased significantly over the past decade, bolstered by increased access and normalization. Ohio is now poised to become the 24th state to legalize adult use of cannabis for recreational purposes. Healthcare providers should expect that pregnant and postpartum women who use cannabis will desire more nuanced and educated conversations regarding their use in this evolving medico-legal landscape. This discussion will review the history of cannabis in America, the most up to date evidence regarding cannabis use in the perinatal period, and social justice aspects of cannabis use during pregnancy and postpartum.


9:40 am
Special Considerations for Treating SUDs in Pregnant and Breastfeeding Patients Layne
A. Gritti, DO, Sweetgrass Psychiatry

Contraception Essentials for the Addiction Specialist
Zevidah Vickery, MD, MSCI, MetroHealth Medical Center, Case Western Reserve University

As much as 50% of American pregnancies are not planned; evidence shows that women with substance use and use disorders experience mistimed and unintended pregnancy at even higher rates. Pregnancies affected by substance use are at greater risk of poor outcomes such as miscarriage, preterm labor, abruptio placentae, fetal growth restriction and neonatal abstinence syndrome. As with any chronic disease, optimization of maternal health before conception is recommended for pregnancy-capable people with SUD. The addiction specialist, with their trust-worthy non-judgmental care and frequent visits, is uniquely situated to assist these patients with meeting their lifetime reproductive goals. By attending you should be able to describe the unmet need for sexual and reproductive healthcare among SUD patients and develop strategies on ways to meet this need among your own patient panel.

Certain populations, including racial and ethnic minorities, sexual and gender minorities, and the disabled face experience marked disparities in access to quality addiction treatment. To achieve health equity, it is critical to identify and address unique barriers faced by this population. By attending you should be able to describe disparities in addiction treatment for marginalized populations, including social, cultural, and political influences, name common barriers to substance use disorder treatment for marginalized populations, and identify one barrier in your institution for you to target for potential change.
