Program: Massachusetts
and the United States are currently in the midst of a public health crisis due to the opioid epidemic. More child
and adolescent psychiatrists and other pediatric providers who understand how to work with adolescents and families
are needed to support young people with substance use disorders, including opioid use disorders. This training will provide
background on the opioid epidemic, review assessment and treatment for opioid use disorders, including drug testing,
medication, therapy, and family interventions, and accessing care. Guidance for working with parents of children with
opioid use disorders will also be reviewed. Finally, an update on cannabis and its uses in the context
of legalization in Massachusetts, neurobiology of marijuana in the developing brain, and multimodal
treatment strategies for adolescent cannabis use disorders will be provided.
