Video Summary

The webinar titled "Medication Management for Stimulant Use Disorder," presented by Dr. Larissa Mooney, discussed the collaboration between ASAM and AAAP, focusing on evidence-based prevention, treatment, and recovery approaches for individuals with stimulant use disorder and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. The webinar highlighted the importance of integrating medication management with behavioral treatments like contingency management for more effective outcomes. Various pharmacotherapies for methamphetamine and cocaine use disorder were discussed, with a focus on medications such as bupropion, naltrexone, methylphenidate, topiramate, and mirtazapine. The session emphasized the need for careful monitoring of patients prescribed controlled medications, individualized treatment approaches, and the importance of addressing co-occurring psychiatric disorders alongside stimulant use disorder treatment. The case presentation of a 30-year-old woman with methamphetamine use disorder and co-occurring ADHD demonstrated the complexities of treatment decisions and the considerations involved in selecting appropriate medications and therapy modalities. The webinar also addressed audience questions on topics such as the mechanisms of action for medications and dosage considerations for specific conditions.
