CEU Course Description

Research presented by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) suggests that the prevalence of stimulant use disorder is on the rise, and becoming a public health crisis similar to the opioid epidemic. Therefore, health care professionals should possess insight into stimulant use disorder to effectively treat patients in need. This course reviews SAMHSA's evidence-based resource guide centered around treatment considerations for stimulant use disorder to provide health care professionals with the necessary insight to optimize patient care.

Author: This publication was developed with a significant contribution from Thomas Freese, PhD and Rucha Londhe, PhD. The guidance is based on the thoughtful input of Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration staff and the Expert Panel on Treatment of Stimulant Use Disorders from October 2019 through September 2020.
