PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Massachusetts and the United States are continuing to be
navigating the 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 and its impact, review assessment and treatment for opioid use disorders, including drug testing,
medication treatment, therapy, and family interventions, and accessing care. Guidance for working with parents of
children with substance use disorders and the current treatment landscape will also be reviewed. 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.
