Commissioner's Medical Grand Rounds: The Use of Multidisciplinary Approaches to Long COVID Care
Long COVID, a condition in which individuals experience a wide range of symptoms for weeks or months after an initial COVID-19 infection, impacts a significant portion of the population worldwide. Long COVID can affect nearly every organ system, causing significant physical, social, and psychological consequences. The prevalence and complexity of long COVID has led to the establishment of multidisciplinary specialized clinics. This virtual Grand Rounds session will provide insight into emerging holistic and patient-centered approaches to long COVID management.

Treatment
No matter what you are experiencing, treatments and resources are available. VA offers treatment options that are proven to be very effective for most people, and many types of professionals at VA can help treat substance use.   
Evidence-based therapies are among the most effective treatments for substance use. They can include the following — which are in many cases available at a local VA medical center.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps Veterans with substance use disorders develop more balanced and helpful thoughts about themselves, others, and the future. It can help Veterans manage the urge to drink or use drugs, refuse opportunities to use substances, use a problem-solving approach to deal with substance use, and achieve personal goals.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) helps Veterans with substance use disorders by focusing on conversations between the Veteran and their provider to detect and strengthen personal motivations for change. This therapy looks at the reasons behind your desire to make a change and the potential benefits of that change.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) helps Veterans with substance use disorders by focusing on conversations between the Veteran and their provider to detect and strengthen personal motivations for change.

The first 3 months (12 weeks) involves a weekly protocol of your choosing. After you finish the weekly protocol, you will be enrolled in a monthly maintenance group for six months to help you continue moving forward.
Evidence-Based Treatment.
Many treatments for PTSD have well-documented research supporting their effectiveness. These treatments include: Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). There is also a well-supported treatment for depression that occurs with other problems like anxiety. This treatment is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  PE and EMDR are done with individual therapy. CPT and ACT can be done with individual or group therapy.  Both individual and group therapies have unique advantages. You will learn about these in your PTSD 101 class.  

 Groups 
 

Maintenance Group.
After you complete your weekly protocol, you can enroll in an evidence-based treatment for PTSD or you can enter a maintenance group. Maintenance groups give you the chance to (1) practice skills you have learned from your weekly protocol and (2) receive peer support.
Special Topic Groups.
The clinic offers several groups that focus on different areas of life or problem areas. The topics and availability of these groups changes from time to time. Your provider can let you know which groups are available at any given time and help you enroll.
