Description

The DSM 5 added “cravings” to the criteria for substance use disorders in 2015. As substance use disorder can impact every area of life, so must the approach for cravings management. The goals for this workshop will be to review the literature on cravings management techniques, discuss cravings management medications, and elicit a discussion of multi-faceted approaches that have worked for those on the front lines of SUD treatment.
