Workshop Overview:  The complexities of substance use disorders (SUDs) present some of the most pressing ethical challenges in contemporary healthcare. During this workshop participants will explore the moral tensions between patient autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice in addressing substance use and addiction-related care, and explore ethical decision-making in the care of patients with SUDs, lifespan considerations in addiction, access to medication-assisted treatment in correctional settings, as well as ethical and legal issues surrounding guardianship for individuals with substance use histories and prior incarceration.
