The participants will be able to identify symptoms of alcohol intoxication and impairment and alcohol overdose and identify steps to assist in rescue.  The alcohol withdrawal syndrome will be reviewed in depth and appropriate treatment options during and after withdrawal.   Medications to treat withdrawal will be review as well as medication to assist in early recovery.  As a result of attending this training, participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate use of the Clinical Alcohol Withdrawal Scale (CIWA) in assessment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome
