1. Substance Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder in the Home Care Setting
This introductory chapter reviews statistics about substance use disorder and alcohol use disorder (SUD/AUD). Prevalence by age group, and DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and severity ratings are discussed. An interdisciplinary approach to assessment is presented.
2. End-of-Life Care, Pain Management, and Addiction
There are special considerations when patients with SUD/AUD need pain medication. Assessing pain levels and differentiating between need and drug seeking within the unique realities of end-of-life care are addressed. Family members with SUD/AUD in the home present challenges to medication control and diversion.
