About the Conference: Only a small percentage of persons with substance use disorders- or at risk for developing them- get the care they need. Communications technologies such as internet, smart phones, and interactive video games offer huge opportunities to expand prevention and treatment of substance use disorders and other mental health challenges. This symposium presents innovative initiatives that usetechnology to engage patients in addressing diverse substances challenges and phases of use – from tobacco to opioids to alcohol and across the spectrum of use from prevention to treatment to support of recovery. Speakers emphasize practical strategies for implementing use of technologies in clinical practice and attendees are given opportunities to try out many of the technology programs presented.
