Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 24, 2008 -- CME Outfitters, LLC, an independent accredited provider of multidisciplinary medical education programming and related healthcare communications services, is pleased to announce an upcoming live and interactive evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV activity titled "Advances in Clinical Care for Patients with Alcohol Dependence."

Premiering Wednesday, February 13, 2008, from 12:00 p.m.-1:00 p.m. ET, the activity will focus on evaluating evidence-based psychosocial intervention and pharmacotherapy management strategies to improve outcomes for patients with alcohol dependence and recognizing the importance of neurobiology in addiction. As an added bonus, this broadcast will be followed by a special "After the Show" live segment during which the faculty will continue to take audience questions. This segment will then be offered as a standalone web archive exclusively at neuroscienceCME.com.

The recorded satellite broadcast will re-air from 3:00 p.m.-4:00 p.m. ET. This CE activity will also be available as an archived webcast, podcast, and telephone audioconference shortly after the broadcast premiere.

Statement of Need:

Psychosocial interventions have been the mainstay of treatment for patients with alcohol dependence. However, there are some patients who are not able to remain abstinent with counseling alone and medication can be an additional, effective aid in the recovery process. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, in its 2005 update, Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much, states: "All approved drugs have been shown to be effective adjuncts to the treatment of alcohol dependence. Thus, consider adding medication whenever you're treating someone with active alcohol dependence or someone who has stopped drinking in the past few months but is experiencing problems such as craving or slips. Patients who have previously failed to respond to psychosocial approaches alone are particularly strong candidates."

Overall, psychosocial interventions target the cortex, the center for decision-making; whereas, pharmacotherapy targets other brain areas such as the limbic region, associated with brain reward pathways. In a study by Anton and colleagues, patients who were given a combination of pharmacotherapy and psychosocial treatment were less likely to relapse. Those who did relapse experienced a longer time between relapses. Thus, this study demonstrates the underlying impact that neurobiology can have on recovery.

In this evidence-based neuroscienceCME TV format, faculty will present patient cases as they explore the integration of pharmacotherapy into current psychosocial treatment models to improve outcomes for patients with alcohol dependence.
