Most people struggling with substance use don't just use one substance—they use several, and they may have use disorders from multiple substances. This is known as "polysubstance use" and “polysubstance use disorders”. Using multiple substances leads to greater health risks; it makes treatment much more complicated, makes it harder to receive adequate care and stay in recovery, and increases the risk of death.


Join us for a conversation with Dr. Wilson Compton, Deputy Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), to talk about current polysubstance use trends in the United States and how science is working to solve this crisis.


During this event, we will explore why treating polysubstance use is so difficult and what the evidence shows can work for patients. Finally, we will share exciting new research, tools, and innovations from the field that are actively shaping the future of prevention, treatment, and recovery for polysubstance use.


Whether you are a patient, family member, community advocate, healthcare provider, or simply want to learn more, please join us for the exciting webinar.
