The pathophysiology of methamphetamine addiction--including its intense biological reinforcement and symptom profile--poses challenges for prevention and treatment. Attendees will hear original findings from BEAT Meth, a CDC-funded project that applies a multifaceted public health approach to addressing methamphetamine addiction. These findings include strategies to describe methamphetamine-related healthcare utilization; diagnostic criteria for methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorders; and adaptation of contingency management to support linkage to care.
Learning Objectives:
Learners will be able to:
Delineate diagnostic criteria for methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder
Describe one intervention for identifying and linking patients to treatment for methamphetamine use disorde
Identify main barriers to engagement and retention in treatment for methamphetamine use disorder
