07. Diagnosis: How to Recognize an Opioid Use Disorder

Published on August 30, 2017 Expired on April 1, 2021

Joji Suzuki, M.D.

Assistant Professor of Psychiatry - Harvard Medical School

Key Points

  • In DSM-5, substance abuse and substance dependence were combined and renamed to “substance use disorder”
  • In clinical practice, it may be easier to apply the 3 C’s of addiction: loss of control, cravings and negative consequences.
  • Psychiatric comorbidities such as mood and anxiety disorders are common. Addressing comorbidities simultaneously is preferred.
