What do Addiction Medicine Anesthesiologists do?
An Addiction Medicine Anesthesiology Physician is an anesthesiologist who has also undergone advanced training in addiction medicine, allowing them to manage patients with substance use disorders, particularly in the perioperative (around surgery) setting, where anesthesia is used.
They diagnose and treat addiction, provide pain management that considers a patient’s SUD, advocate for patients with substance use disorders, and can serve in non-clinical roles like research or teaching.
What they do
Perioperative Care for Patients with SUDs: They provide anesthesia and pain management for patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) who need surgery, tailoring care plans to account for the patient’s condition, such as the interaction between opioid use and chronic pain treatments like buprenorphine.
Addiction Treatment: They diagnose, treat, and prevent substance-related disorders, using a comprehensive approach that includes medication, behavioral therapies, and support services.
Pain Management: They possess advanced training to manage chronic pain, recognizing the complexities of how SUDs and pain intertwine, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Patient Advocacy and Public Health: They advocate for patients affected by addiction stigma, working to improve policies and practices that promote wellness.
Consultation and Collaboration: They serve as key members of the healthcare team, providing consultations and collaborating with other physicians and care partners to improve outcomes for patients with substance use disorders.
Non-Clinical Roles: Due to the unique risks of relapse among anesthesiologists, some who have struggled with their own addiction may transition to non-clinical roles such as research, teaching, or administration.
Specialization
Biopsychosocial Understanding: This specialty focuses on the complex genetic, psychological, and social factors contributing to addiction, enabling tailored and comprehensive care.
High Need: There is a significant need for addiction medicine specialists, as a large portion of the population experiences substance use disorders, but few receive treatment.
Unique Expertise: Anesthesiologists’ practice involves the use of highly addictive drugs, making their expertise in managing addiction and preventing relapse crucial for both patients and providers.
