A panel of Yale instructors from medicine, physician associate studies, nursing, and public health discusses how clinicians should respond when patients resist addiction treatment. Part of the Yale course Addiction Treatment: Clinical Skills for Healthcare Providers, the segment builds on a recurring model case acted out earlier in the series, with panelists drawing on their different clinical backgrounds to suggest ways of addressing patient skepticism about therapy, medication, or referral. The discussion stays practical, focused on real objections a provider might hear in an exam room and how to keep a patient engaged in treatment rather than losing them to the conversation entirely. It functions as one module in a larger curriculum built around screening, diagnosis, and management of substance use disorder, aimed at healthcare providers rather than general audiences.
