Medication Assisted Treatment Pharmacotherapy Series - Long Acting Injectable (LAI) Use in the Inpatient Psychiatric Setting is organized by UK HealthCare CECentral and will be held on Nov 17, 2026 at UK Eastern State Hospital, Lexington, Kentucky, United States of America.
Description:
1 out of every 5 individuals is living with a behavioral or mental health challenge. To ensure that healthcare professionals can adequately identify and secure medication-assisted pharmacotherapy that supports patients who use nicotine, opiates, alcohol, and long acting injectables. It is critical for professionals to have current knowledge to provide effective treatment and education for patients who need this support. Medication-assisted pharmacotherapy training is essential for healthcare professionals working in mental and behavioral health settings because this patient population is more likely to experience challenges with abuse of substances and medication adherence. This 4-part series, 1 CEU per session, will offer pharmacotherapy information related to nicotine, opiates, alcohol, and long acting injectables.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Describe the prevalence of long acting injectable (LAI) use among people living with mental illness in the U.S.
2. Describe best practices used by Eastern State Hospital for administering long acting injectables.
3. Identify evidence-based treatment recommendations for long acting injectable use in inpatient psychiatric settings.
