how involved should we be getting in the management of substance use disorders that cause patients to seek neurological care? if for example there was an outpatient whose heavy use of alcohol was thought to be the cause of their neuropathy, would you feel comfortable advising this patient on how to cut down their intake? referring them to addiction medicine if they’re interested? prescribing medications to reduce alcohol consumption yourself? how about pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation in patients with a stroke history?
