This training reviews best practice as it applies to prescribing (or not prescribing) psychotropic medications for a person in recovery from both a mental illness and substance abuse diagnosis. Each medication class will be discussed in terms of benefits and side effects and, whenever possible, recommendations of one medication type over another for the dually-diagnosed person. Introductory material relating to the neuroanatomy and physiology of the central nervous system will also be presented and linked to why some medications should be prescribed and why others should be avoided for this population. A sophisticated background in biology or pharmacology is not
needed for participants to gain useful insight into these areas.
