REGISTER HERE

Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the critical relationship between Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and infective endocarditis (IE), particularly in the context of injection drug use. Discover how to tackle SUD through early intervention, addiction medicine consultations, medication-assisted treatment, and harm reduction strategies. Learn about the transformative power of peer support in reducing stigma and providing practical recovery advice. We’ll also delve into the importance of transitioning to supportive environments that offer structured aftercare, supportive housing, continued medical and counseling support, and community integration. Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your knowledge and make a difference!

Objectives:

  • Describe the impact of treating patients with infective endocarditis (IE) and substance use disorder (SUD) on health systems and health plans.

  • Explain the benefit of comprehensive treatment for patients with IE and SUD.
