SUD Care for Hospitalized Patients

Description

Approximately 25% of individuals who seek medical treatment in hospital care facilities have a problem that is directly or indirectly related to substance use disorder (SUD). The work of the addiction nurse in these situations is of utmost significance. Their contribution to the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) and their advanced decision-making skills will enhance the provision of high-quality care for patients who are sometimes overlooked by other healthcare practitioners.
