SUMMARY:New Perspectives on Addiction Relapse and Recovery: An Idiographic Contextual Approach
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Center for Technology and Behavioral Health (CTBH) seminar with Katie Witkiewitz\, PhD \nNew Perspectives on Addiction Relapse and Recovery: An Idiographic Contextual Approach \nTopic: Treatments for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and other addictive disorders have progressed considerably over the past 30 years. Yet\, there is still lack of consensus about the prediction and prevention of returning to problematic drinking and drug use during treatment and what factors predict longer-term recovery. Definitions of relapse and recovery also vary and there is little empirical data to inform our understanding of long-term outcomes following a course of evidence-based addiction treatment. The current talk will highlight conceptual and empirical advances in the treatment of addiction\, focusing particularly on person-centered approaches to conceptualizing relapse risk and empirically evaluating changes in substance use over time. Implications for definitions of addiction recovery and future research will also be discussed. \nPresenter: Dr. Katie Witkiewitz is a Regents’ Professor of Psychology and a Scientist at the Center on Alcoholism\, Substance Abuse\, and Addictions at the University of New Mexico. The underlying theme of her research is the development of empirically-based models of addiction\, with an emphasis on applying advanced quantitative research methods to better understand changes in addictive behavior over time. Dr. Witkiewitz is also a licensed clinical psychologist and has worked extensively on the development of a theoretical model of biopsychosocial influences on alcohol and drug relapse. She has conducted numerous empirical studies on the prediction of alcohol and drug relapse\, mechanisms of successful alcohol treatment outcomes\, as well as the development of interventions to treat addiction. To date\, Dr. Witkiewitz has authored 5 books and over 175 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters\, and she has given over 110 presentations and invited talks. Her research has been supported by grants from the National Institute on Mental Health\, National Institute on Drug Abuse\, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism\, and National Cancer Institute\, with over $20 million in research funding since 2004.\n_________________________________________________________________ \nJoin us in person or over WebEx \nClick Here to Join the WebEx Meeting\nMeeting number/Access code: 796 314 754\nMeeting password: Dartmouth1 \nJoin by phone\n1-877-668-4490 Call-in toll-free number (US/Canada)\n1-408-792-6300 Call-in toll number (US/Canada)\nAccess code: 638 501 558

SUMMARY:Science Series: What’s the Point? Harm Reduction through Syringe Exchange in White River Junction and Springfield\, VT\, by Laura Byrne
DESCRIPTION:Syringe exchange programs are more than just a place to trade in used needles for new ones. These programs offer a variety of services such as HIV and Hepatitis C testing\, naloxone and referrals to substance misuse treatment and other services. This talk will examine and compare two syringe exchange programs run by the HIV/HCV Resource Center\, one at the Good Neighbor Heath Clinic and the other at Springfield Health Center. The talk will focus on client demographics\, risk behaviors\, drug use\, Hepatitis C transmission and prevalence and the role of stigma as an impediment to accessing services. \nLaura Byrne is Executive Director of the HIV/HCV Resource Center\, an AIDS Service Organization located in Lebanon\, NH. She has administered the agency’s White River Junction syringe exchange program since 2010 and the Springfield program since 2017. With degrees from Colby College (BA) and Boston University (MA)\, she is an anthropologist by training and has also lived and studied abroad. In addition to promoting increased access to services and harm reduction for injection drug users\, she is interested in relationships between gender\, identity\, society and culture. \nCheck out our Science Series page for more information and to view past presentations.

SUMMARY:The Power of Perceptions and Understanding: A future without discrimination and discriminatory practices
DESCRIPTION:What would the treatment and public health landscape look like if we were to completely eradicate discriminatory practices? \nWhat steps would need to be taken to ensure this happens? \nThis presentation is part of a four-part webcast series that aims to educate healthcare professionals about the importance of using approaches that are free of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in treating individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions\, as well as patients living their lives in recovery (described below). \n  \nAbout the Initiative: The Power of Perceptions and Understanding \nMillions of people in the U.S. live with a substance use disorder. In 2016\, there were 20.1 million people\, or 7.5 percent\, aged 12 or older in 2016 who had a substance use disorder in the past year. In addition\, an estimated 8.2 million U.S. adults 18 or older reported having co-occurring disorders. This means that within the previous year\, they experienced both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. \nHealth care providers are often the first contact for addressing their patient’s substance use disorder. There is ample evidence that those who have a substance use disorder often have feelings of shame that impede treatment-seeking. Therefore\, it is essential health care providers understand that negative attitudes\, beliefs and language can be barriers that prevent those in need from seeking services\, or even sharing information\, including being in recovery. \nThe Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital\, Recovery Research Institute (link is external)\, is producing a series of four webcasts to educate healthcare professionals about the problems of discriminatory practices and inaccurate perceptions present in dealing with individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions. The topics and panel discussions will specifically address the harm caused by the negative perceptions\, and the mitigating results of using discriminatory and prejudicial behaviors toward those who need care for substance use disorders as well as those living their lives in recovery. \nWebcasts are open to all\, but are intended to educate health care providers at all levels\, to include medical doctors\, physician assistants\, nurses\, the public health field staff\, addiction treatment professionals\, as well as behavioral health support staff. \nParticipants can earn up to 4.0 free CME/CE credits – one credit for attending each of the four one-hour webcasts. \nThe webcasts will be made available afterward on SAMHSA’s YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:The Power of Perceptions and Understanding: Reducing discriminatory practices in clinical settings
DESCRIPTION:What is the nature and extent of discrimination toward individuals with substance use disorder? \nWhat is the origin and perpetuating factors to this discrimination\, and how do we tackle the challenge of reducing discriminatory practices in healthcare settings? \nThis presentation is part of a four-part webcast series that aims to educate healthcare professionals about the importance of using approaches that are free of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors in treating individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions\, as well as patients living their lives in recovery (described below). \n  \nAbout the Initiative: The Power of Perceptions and Understanding \nMillions of people in the U.S. live with a substance use disorder. In 2016\, there were 20.1 million people\, or 7.5 percent\, aged 12 or older in 2016 who had a substance use disorder in the past year. In addition\, an estimated 8.2 million U.S. adults 18 or older reported having co-occurring disorders. This means that within the previous year\, they experienced both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. \nHealth care providers are often the first contact for addressing their patient’s substance use disorder. There is ample evidence that those who have a substance use disorder often have feelings of shame that impede treatment-seeking. Therefore\, it is essential health care providers understand that negative attitudes\, beliefs and language can be barriers that prevent those in need from seeking services\, or even sharing information\, including being in recovery. \nThe Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital\, Recovery Research Institute (link is external)\, is producing a series of four webcasts to educate healthcare professionals about the problems of discriminatory practices and inaccurate perceptions present in dealing with individuals with substance use disorders (SUDs) and related conditions. The topics and panel discussions will specifically address the harm caused by the negative perceptions\, and the mitigating results of using discriminatory and prejudicial behaviors toward those who need care for substance use disorders as well as those living their lives in recovery. \nWebcasts are open to all\, but are intended to educate health care providers at all levels\, to include medical doctors\, physician assistants\, nurses\, the public health field staff\, addiction treatment professionals\, as well as behavioral health support staff. \nParticipants can earn up to 4.0 free CME/CE credits – one credit for attending each of the four one-hour webcasts. \nThe webcasts will be made available afterward on SAMHSA’s YouTube Channel.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Implementing Recovery-Oriented Methadone Maintenance: A Clinical Quality Improvement Project
DESCRIPTION:Methadone saves lives. A large systematic review published in 2017 showed unequivocally that methadone reduces mortality among people with opioid use disorders. In the context of an opioid overdose epidemic\, all efforts should be made to expand the availability of methadone treatment services to individuals who may benefit from it. \nBut in our efforts to expand methadone’s availability\, we should not lose sight of the importance of quality. \nIn this webinar\, IRETA Executive Director Peter Luongo will summarize the principles of recovery-oriented methadone maintenance and describe an ongoing quality improvement project in several western Pennsylvania methadone programs designed to improve long-term patient outcomes.

SUMMARY:Science Series: Pharmacotherapy for Treating People with Alcohol Use Disorder\, by Dr. Mary F. Brunette
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol use disorder is a common chronic condition. Although multiple pharmacotherapies have been shown to reduce drinking in people with this disorder\, these important treatment strategies are underutilized. Dr. Mary Brunette will provide an overview of how to conduct assessments and provide evidence-based pharmacologic management for people with alcohol use disorders in primary and specialty care settings. \nDr. Mary F. Brunette is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and the Medical Director of the Bureau of Mental Health Services within the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services. As a board-certified addiction psychiatrist\, she has been involved with research and clinical care of patients with mental illnesses and co-occurring substance use disorders for over 20 years. She has been active with both psychosocial research and clinical trials studying treatments for people with these co-occurring disorders and other disadvantaged populations. In the past few years\, she initiated a program of research on smoking cessation for people with mental illnesses\, and has been involved in studying the use of technology to increase the efficacy and expand the research of treatments for people with co-occurring disorders\, with a focus on people with severe mental illnesses in general and nicotine addiction in particular. \nThis installment of the Northeast Node’s Science Series will be available via BlueJeans.com at https://bluejeans.com/191888382 (We recommend that you visit BlueJeans.com prior to the presentation so that you can download the BlueJeans client/app). \nThis presentation will also be recorded and archived on our website\, www.ctnnortheastnode.org\, alongside previous Science Series presentations. \nWe are anticipating a large number of attendees at this session\, so please be sure to let us know if you plan to attend in person.
