Speaker(s):

Palmer, Melissa, PharmD

Presentation:

Similar to 2021 presentation by writer on methamphetamine use disorder and evidence of pharmacologic intervention, this presentation would be very similar although for cocaine use. The presentation would include: DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation both acute and chronic, pharmacology, review of literature for pharmacologic treatment, and incorporation of clinical case.

Objectives:

  1. Compare and contrast pharmacologic agents used in the treatment of stimulant use disorder, specifically cocaine.

  2. Identify patients who could benefit from medication therapy.

  3. Develop a patient-centered treatment plan considering patient-specific factors such as co-morbidities and socioeconomic parameters.
