About the event: Research indicates about 50% of all eating disorder patients also engage in substance misuse, compared to 9% of the general population. This presentation will provide an overview of best practices for screening, assessing, tracking, and providing psychoeducation around substance use disorders (SUDs) in patients with eating disorders. Participants will learn evidence-based tools and techniques to identify substance use issues, determine appropriate levels of care, and integrate SUD treatment into existing eating disorder protocols.
There will be time for Q&A.
