Webinar Date: SUD Scoop Series runs August 2025-May 2026 (see "Add to Calendar" section for a listing of all dates)
Activity Dates: 08/06/2025 - 06/30/2029
Step into a dynamic 30 minutes of facilitated discussion where substance use disorder (SUD) cases take center stage—especially the ones where evidence is limited, cannot be uniformly applied, or may not exist. Collaborate with your peers to unpack complex scenarios, debate treatment paths, and problem-solve solutions.
AAPP members can register once for this complimentary series and attend as many of the webinars as you like! Once registered, you will have access to each session’s case presentation—posted one week prior to the webinar—and the session recordings, which will be available afterward. All materials can be found in the Course Materials section below. Registered attendees will receive an email reminder on the morning of the session. ACPE credit is not available for SUD Scoop.
Case Overview: A patient with a long-standing history of opioid use disorder (OUD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) presents a compelling case. Successfully managed on buprenorphine/naloxone for eight years, their OUD remained well-controlled. However, recurrent hospitalizations for complicated alcohol withdrawal syndrome underscore the challenges of managing co-occurring disorders. In an effort to address AUD between hospitalizations, the patient was prescribed oral naltrexone (50 mg daily). Unfortunately, after just two doses, they were readmitted with acute opioid withdrawal—highlighting the critical need for coordinated medication strategies and vigilant monitoring in dual-diagnosis patients.
Moderator: Aaron Salwan, PharmD, MPH, BCPP
