Description

Up to 35% of patients who suffer from substance use disorder exhibit eating disorder behaviors that can often remain undetected by his or her treatment team. On the surface, eating disorders and substance use disorder may appear to be two entirely different conditions. In this engaging presentation, Robyn Cruze will provide her personal recovery story on eating and substance use disorder. Linda Lewaniak will then discuss why the two illnesses have similarities, why they tend to occur together, the effects both illnesses have on the brain and what integrated treatment looks like in treating both illnesses simultaneously.

Learning Objectives

• Recognize the similarities and differences between substance use disorders and eating disorders.
• Differentiate between eating disorder behaviors and substance use behaviors.
• Identify how the brain is affected by substances of abuse.
