    Anxiety and opioid misuse commonly co-occur across the continuum of severity, ranging from opioid medication misuse through severe opioid use disorder. Management of these co-occurring conditions is challenged by interacting symptoms and the influence of substance-related risks and effects on treatment mechanisms (e.g., fear extinction learning). The overarching goal of this presentation is to provide guidance for providers in recognizing and treating this co-occurrence, including management of common treatment challenges and collaborating with interdisciplinary treatment teams. Attendees will learn about specific assessment and treatment strategies as well as practical tips for addressing potential conflicts between behavioral therapy approaches for anxiety and substance misuse.
