Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the vulnerable populations that require specialized treatment considerations for stimulant use disorders, including women, adolescents, LGBTQ+ individuals, and people experiencing homelessness.
  • Describe how racial and ethnic health disparities affect access to and engagement in treatment for stimulant use disorders.
  • Explain the unique treatment considerations for pregnant women with stimulant use disorders.
  • Analyze the treatment needs of individuals with co-occurring stimulant use disorders and HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, or other infectious diseases.
  • Describe adaptations needed for treating stimulant use disorders in criminal justice populations and rural communities.
  • Explain how treatment approaches should be modified for individuals taking medication for opioid use disorder who also have stimulant use disorders.

Course Description: Treatment for Stimulant Use Disorders (TIP 33) Module 4 covers how stimulant use disorder affects specific vulnerable populations, including people of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, women, MSM, transgender and gender nonbinary individuals, adolescents, people experiencing homelessness, rural populations, people involved in the criminal justice system, people taking medication for opioid use disorder, people who inject drugs, people with or at risk for HIV/AIDS and hepatitis, and individuals with co-occurring mental disorders. It is designed for clinicians and other SUD treatment providers who work with these groups. The module examines how health disparities and barriers within systems of care can contribute to higher rates of stimulant use disorder and reduced access to treatment among these populations. Learners will come away with practical knowledge of each population’s unique risk factors, patterns of use, and health considerations to support more patient-centered care and stronger treatment engagement.
