Addiction is a chronic, relapsing illness that is difficult to cure.
GPs and other primary care professionals have a key role to
play in prevention, early detection and management
of substance misuse and addiction.
This one day Active Learning Module (ALM) developed by RACGP Queensland aims
to develop and enhance rural GPs' skills in recognising and treating patients who
present with drug addictions. The workshop will cover many of the dominant addictive
substances seen in general practice including alcohol, benzodiazepines, cannabis,
opioids and other amphetamine-like substances, as well as emerging drugs.
The activity will take on a rural and regional focus, addressing issues specific to the
areas in which they are held. Attendees will be expected to be active participants as
our expert presenters facilitate group learning. GPs should arrive prepared to discuss
challenging cases, contribute to Q & A and participate in group think exercises.
Learning outcomes
1.Recognise uncomplicated substance use disorder and associated behaviors in
patients who are otherwise functional.
2.Recognise complex patients who suffer from both persistent pain and substance
use disorder.

3.Identify how to promote contemporary evidence-based treatment options
