Substance use and SUDs are often important areas for assessment and intervention when working with individuals who have experienced brain injury, spinal cord injury, and/or amputation/complex medical conditions. We will be discussing how to conceptualize substance use within these populations, and how to support these individuals in both inpatient and outpatient settings in service of improving functioning across multiple domains.

More specifically, this session will allow participants to:

1. Explore special considerations when addressing SUDs in individuals with brain injury, spinal cord injury, and amputation/complex medical conditions; and,

2. Identify appropriate, evidence-based interventions to implement and adapt with these populations.
