The ASAM Alcohol Use Disorder Course provides an overview of the diagnosis and management of AUD, with a focus on treatment in both the inpatient and outpatient settings. This case-based, interactive, in-person course highlights the triage and management of patients with alcohol withdrawal syndromes, and the successful transition to evidence-based pharmacotherapy. Adjunct behavioral therapies will also be discussed.
