About the Course

This course is designed with a singular goal: to improve the care you provide to your patients with substance use disorders. By delving into a model case performed by actors, seven Yale instructors from various fields provide techniques to screen your patients for substance use disorder risk, diagnose patients to gauge the severity of their use, directly manage treatment plans, refer out to treatment services, and navigate the various conditions that may limit your patient’s access to treatment. You will ultimately be prepared to provide compassionate and evidence-based care to a large population of patients living with addiction— a chronic, often relapsing-remitting disease, but a treatable one. This course is supported in part by SAMHSA of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of financial assistance awards from grant #1H79FG000023 totaling $249,900 and grant #3H79TI081968-02S1 from SAMHSA totaling $1,354,651 with 100 percent funded by SAMHSA/HHS.

This was informative, but out of touch in terms of functional interventional techniques for replacement behavior & medication. This is also doesn't take into account simultaneous research in possible rudimentary positive feedback loops/reinforcement in comparison to extreme negative feedback loops i.e. effectiveness of specific methods of extreme behavior modification with Stanford prisoner study electroshock "therapy" vs. basic positive reinforcement using a Pavlovian method. Also didn't discuss practical methods for effective gambling cessation techniques & effective means of muting environmental stimuli that increase the likelihood of keeping people in cycles of financial distress/poverty. Could've used studies that involve functional MRI, or EEG in the positive reward feedback loop in order to personalize & identify possible strategies to replace the behavior with reasonably attempting to find out what an equally rewarding behavior might be to an individual (since those obviously vary per person) vs. archaic techniques in prescribing what could only be described as "punitive" (& frankly negatively stigmatized) tranquilizers & sedatives. I get that it's an introductory class, but there are far more interesting topics & methods for successful & functional behavior reallocation that could stand to be discussed.
