Presented by Dr Chris Davis, a GP expert in providing primary care alcohol withdrawal and recovery services and Medical Director at Clean Slate Clinic, the telehealth provider.

Alcohol and drug dependence remain major health and social problems in Australia, contributing significantly to the global burden of disease and the everyday practice of primary care. 

Primary care has a critical role to play in the support and management of individuals with mild to moderate alcohol disorder. 

Following this webinar you will be able to more confidently assess patients who are using alcohol to determine their level of dependency and gauge their suitability for GP-led home withdrawal management (detox). 

You will be better able to explain the components of structured home detox and better understand how to conduct a post detox review and develop effective recovery plans.

Learning Objectives:

• Assess patients who are using alcohol to determine their level of dependency, and their suitability for GP-led home withdrawal management (detox)
• Understand the components of structured home detox, including appropriate medication provision, breathalyser tests, and withdrawal scales
• Conduct a post-detox review, develop an effective recovery plan, including anti-craving medication, and list ongoing support resources
• Understand how primary care led alcohol withdrawal and recovery can be delivered via telehealth

In addition, you will receive information regarding other local services to refer to in support of your patients.
