Workshop: Treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in Patients with Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease (ALD)
Abstract

Excessive alcohol use leads to many preventable medical comorbidities with the most common being alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD)1. Alcohol addiction, or DSM-V defined alcohol use disorder (AUD), is being recognized by hepatologists and other physicians as a treatable condition to prevent ALD2.

Addiction specialists have an opportunity to help their hepatology colleagues but may not be familiar with AUD treatment in the setting of ALD. Novel multi-disciplinary clinics to manage both addiction and hepatology care together have been proposed and implemented to help addiction care to be incorporated into general medical practice3. AUD Treatment plans that can be more readily adopted by gastroenterologists and hepatologists will be essential.

Learning Objectives
  • Interpret the current knowledge on the safety and efficacy of individualized pharmacotherapy for AUD in ALD.
  • Recognize the proven psychotherapies for AUD and evaluate the role for innovative technology assisted interventions that are being offered to patients with AUD in the context of ALD.
  • Construct a bio-psycho-social-cultural approach to AUD treatment planning in the setting of ALD.
