Substance use disorder: what it is and where Alberta physicians can seek help
September 17, 2020 Alberta Medical Association
The Alberta Medical Association's Physician and Family Support Program and the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta have partnered with Dr. Teresa Eliasson to create a video to educate physicians about substance use disorder. The video explains how to recognize substance use disorder and where Alberta physicians can seek help. If you are located outside of Alberta and need help now, we encourage you to contact the CMA’s Wellness Support Line or your provincial health program.
