In this webinar sponsored by the Northwest ATTC, Lydia Bartholow, DNP, PMHNP, CARN-AP investigated 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.
Viewers also learned 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.
