This 60-minute webinar recording with Joshua Borris explores integrating AUD treatment into palliative care and solutions to improve access to and experiences of palliative care and MAUD.
Integrating Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder into Palliative Care
Host: National Council for Mental Wellbeing
Recorded: April 8, 2025
Enduring TrainingOverview
Providing palliative care to individuals with a history of alcohol use or alcohol use disorder (AUD) requires understanding the various characteristics, comorbidities, impacts and treatments for AUD, including medications for AUD (MAUD).
Up to 28% of inpatient palliative care patients have experienced challenges with alcohol use, and a large percentage of them (67% to 87%) are first identified as having a history of alcohol dependence when they enter into the palliative care setting. Because of associated and comorbid conditions, and the perceived risks associated with them, medications for AUD (MAUD) often remain underused within palliative care settings. Improving access to person-centered palliative care for people with AUD would allow clinicians to consider these factors as a part of a holistic, multidisciplinary, person-centered care approach to treating AUD and other associated and comorbid conditions.
This webinar explores integrating AUD treatment into palliative care and solutions to improve access to and experiences of palliative care and MAUD. Learners will hear from a pharmacology and palliative care expert about MAUD, palliative care and the benefits of combining the two.
This course is not eligible for credit.
The target audience for this intermediate level activity includes: All types of healthcare professionals.
The ACGME Competencies include: Patient Care and Procedural Skills and Medical Knowledge.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Review how palliative care fits into the management of patients with AUD.
- Determine therapeutic considerations when selecting MAUD for palliative care patients.
- Identify three ways in which palliative care can support patients with AUD.

This 90-minute case-based discussion presented by Aaron Williams and Amelia Roeschlein provides an overview of alcohol use and trauma.
The Link Between Trauma and Alcohol Use Disorder: Utilizing Medications as a Way Forward
Host: National Council for Mental Wellbeing
Recorded: January 14, 2025
On-Demand CourseOverview
Trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are associated with numerous negative health outcomes, including alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other substance use disorders. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults have experienced at least one ACE in their lifetime, and one-sixth have experienced four or more. There is a dose–response relationship between the number of ACEs experienced and the risk for AUD and other negative health outcomes. People who have experienced four or more ACES are two to five times more likely to develop negative health outcomes, including AUD. While 28.1 million U.S. adults had AUD in 2023, less than 10% of those people received treatment, and only 2% received a medication for AUD (MAUD).
Join us for a case-based discussion on the relationship between trauma and AUD, treatment options and the benefits of using MAUD. Hear from two experts in the field who have extensive experience in trauma, mental health, substance use, and harm reduction techniques. This course is not eligible for credit.
The target audience for this intermediate level activity includes: Prescribers of all types
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
- Define the relationship between the prevalence of trauma and alcohol use disorder.
- Outline protocols for screening, diagnosing and treating trauma and alcohol use disorder.
- Describe the benefits of using medications for alcohol use disorder (MAUD) as a treatment for people experiencing trauma and AUD.
