Day 2 at CSAM 2026 reflected what clinicians know well: addiction care is rarely straightforward. Friday covered overdose, methadone, pain and OUD, AUD and liver transplantation, stimulants and ADHD, benzodiazepine tapers, co-occurring conditions, and nicotine. Tomorrow: Day 3.

Day 1 of CSAM 2026 covered the questions shaping addiction care now: adolescent digital media use, GLP-1s, kratom and 7-OH, low-barrier buprenorphine, SB43, level-of-care decisions, and harm reduction. Different topics, all connected to better patient care.

From adolescent addiction medicine to long-acting buprenorphine, today's workshops focused on putting evidence into clinical practice. Tomorrow brings emerging substances, harm reduction, and more.
