The Chester County Department of Drug & Alcohol Services, in conjunction with the Chester County Medical Society, is pleased to present a Virtual Lecture Series on Substance Use Disorder.

Substance Use Disorder as a disease continues to cost the global community a staggering amount both financially and in lives lost, but there are treatments available to help patients. Participants of these lectures will learn more about Addiction Medicine and how to screen, diagnose, treat, and/or refer patients with substance use disorder – many of whom have co-occurring medical and psychiatric comorbidities.

Established in 1828, the Chester County Medical Society, founded by Dr. William Darlington, M.D., is thought to be the oldest county medical society in the State. The Medical Society is involved in all aspects of healthcare policy, practice, and education and serves to advance the health of the community and to protect and expand the healthcare resources available to its citizens in Pennsylvania.

The Chester County Medical Society works collaboratively with the Pennsylvania Medical Society, but our focus is on our local community. The Society's role in Chester County is to support, protect, and advocate for our physicians and our patients.
