Street Drugs and Addiction Medicine: A Primer for Primary Care Physicians

Clinical questions to be addressed:

What are the most common drugs of abuse?
What effective screening tools are available to detect this behavior? What risk factors or behaviors indicate this behavior?
How can the physician avoid ethical conflicts when prescribing controlled substances to patients with a history of drug use?
What household products or herbal products are commonly abused? What are the "red flags" of such use?
Should addictive disorders always be co-managed with a therapist or psychiatrist?
