Addressing the Co-Occurrence of Opioid Use Disorder and Problem Gambling

Addressing the Co-Occurrence of Opioid Use Disorder and Problem Gambling

There is significant evidence for high rates of problem gambling among individuals in treatment for Opioid Use Disorders (OUD) and particularly among those in medication assisted treatment programs. This webinar will present findings from current studies that further explore the nature of this relationship and the recovery implications of this comorbidity. Personal stories shared by individuals in recovery from (OUD) will be shared. Implications for screening, assessment and intervention strategies will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will be able to describe the prevalence of problem gambling among clients in treatment for OUD
• Participants will be able to describe at least 3 characteristics of gambling behaviors among clients in OUD
• Participants will be able to identify effective screening and brief intervention strategies to address the impact of gambling on recovery for clients in treatment for OUD
