Course Description

 

Numerous studies show that rates of alcohol and other drug use disorders are high among veterans within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) health care system. This course gives a brief overview of clinical considerations in the treatment of veterans with substance use disorders and other co-occurring mental health issues.  This is an excellent course for any professional who may come in contact with this population or for anyone who is interested in gaining knowledge in this subject area.

 

Course Objectives

 

1.  Identify the challenges facing the VHA in dealing with specialized treatment services for veterans.

 

2.  Evaluate the substance use patterns of veterans and how psychiatric co-morbidity and social, cultural, and economic factors affect these patterns.

 

3.  Recognize the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse among veterans, and evaluate treatment options.
