Overview of Gambling Disorder and Other Related Disorders

View Session

Overview

---

Addiction practitioners are recognizing that certain nonsubstance behaviors—such as gambling, Internet use, video-game playing, sex, eating, and shopping—bear resemblance to substance use disorders. Gambling disorder is the only condition that was included in the “Substance-Related and Addictive Disorders” in DSM-5. In addition, because of the interaction between gambling disorder (GD) and other disorders, some patients being treated for alcohol, tobacco and drug use disorders might have an undiagnosed GD. This presentation reviews the epidemiology and phenomenology of gambling disorder. It covers recent advances in our understating of GD and describes treatment considerations.

Substance Disorders in Correctional Settings

View Session

Overview

---

There are expectations in tribal court, drug court, jail and prison that are the same and that reflect policies that exceed the mission of general SUD care. Therapy and doctor’s orders are court orders. Evolving the fiat judicial-medical partnership is like dating and being honest with humanistic listening may force a long lasting relationship that will weather many storms, fate and critical melt downs. What brings providers and judges together and what destroys trust irreconcilably. Lessons in homelessness are needed as this is here to stay.
