This webinar, presented by Lydia Bartholow, DNP, PMHNP, CARN-AP of Blackburn Center in Portland, Oregon, will investigate the connection between psychological trauma and substance use disorders, the neurobiological adaptations that arise in response to trauma, and the ways in which these same adaptations make one vulnerable to developing a substance use disorder. You’ll also learn about the relevance and importance of pharmacotherapies for treatment of substance use disorders in those with a history of trauma, and how to apply trauma-informed practices to common clinical scenarios.
