SUMMARY:Telemedicine and Treating Opioid Use Disorder in Rural Populations
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Greg Greenberg\, MD \nSponsor: American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP) \nCost: No Fee \nTarget audience: This activity is designed for counselors\, physician assistants\, physicians\, and psychiatrists. This activity is accredited for physicians. \nCredit designations available: AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ \nAbout the webinar: The treatment of opioid use disorder in rural communities can be complex due to transportation\, connectivity\, and other barriers. While telemedicine can help overcome some of these challenges\, it also presents additional obstacles. This presentation will review the challenges associated with treating opioid use disorder in rural areas. It will explore the advantages and disadvantages of using telemedicine\, the difficulties in obtaining urine toxicology screenings\, and why this may not be a significant problem. \nEducational objectives:  At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to: \n\nList the benefits and pitfalls of the use of telemedicine to treat OUD.\nImplement strategies to maximize the benefit of a telemedicine visit.\nCreate processes in your practice to allow for individualized treatment of patients with OUD that includes in-person and telemedicine depending upon the needs of your patient population.\nIdentify items of informed consent and etiquette for telemedicine visits with patients.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Welcoming\, Integrated Services for People with Co-Occurring Disorders - Part Two
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Kenneth Minkoff\, MD \nThis presentation describes how to design systems and services based on the expectation that individuals and families will have co-occurring MH\, SUD\, health conditions\, trauma\, and other complex needs\, so that all programs are “co-occurring programs” and all people providing services are “co-occurring helpers.” The presentation describes the six evidence based principles of intervention for integrated service delivery and illustrates how any individual or team can begin to apply these principles and interventions in their own program in order to have more success – and more fun – working with the people with complex challenges who need our help the most. \n  \nThe workshop is in two parts. Each part is three hours\, and provides an opportunity to go into detail on how the six evidence-based principles can be specifically applied to developing competency-based practice in any MH and SUD program\, by any person in a helping role\, with any level of licensure or training\, including peers and front line staff. \nMore info & registration

SUMMARY:Improving Continuity of Care for Justice-Involved Individuals: Lessons from the Field
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: \n\nEd Hayes\, Assistant Superintendent at Franklin County Sheriff’s Office\, Administrative Director of the FCSO OTP\nRachel Katz\, NP Director\, Addiction Services\, Friends of the Homeless (FOH)\, Medical Respite\, CNP\n\nSponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing–NCMW \nCredit designational available: none \nTarget Audience: Administrative staff\, counselors\, interprofessional teams\, psychologists\, social workers \nAbout the webinar: Transitioning from jails and prisons back into the community can be especially difficult for people with opioid use disorders (OUD). Research suggests that opioid use overdose increases dramatically within the first 30 days of citizens returning to the community. Further\, individuals recently released from incarceration face a risk of opioid overdose ten times greater than the general public. During these transitions\, it is critical that people receive seamless and appropriate resources to prevent overdose and return to use. This proper transition can help lower healthcare costs\, hospitalizations and emergency department visits\, as well as decrease mortality and recidivism for justice-involved individuals. Yet at this time\, only 13 states have sought Medicaid waivers to provide SUD services pre-release. Join us today as we explore how programs can successfully develop services to ensure returning citizens receive appropriate care to address OUD. \nEducational objectives: \n\nReview the context of opioid crisis and its intersection with the jails and prisons.\nExamine the components of a successful jail-based opioid treatment program.\nDiscuss continuity of care planning for patients reentering the community from incarceration with OUD.\nDescribe a program that collaborates with community health care collaborators.\n\nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) for Substance Use Disorders
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Anna Ratzliff\, MD\, PhD; Jasen Christensen\, DO \nWebinar Description \nThis presentation will review the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM)\, which is an evidence-based approach to delivering behavioral healthcare in primary care settings. This model has been adapted to address substance use disorders in primary medical settings. CoCM requires a team of providers; trained primary care providers (PCP) work with embedded behavioral health care managers (BHCM) to provide a range of effective treatments\, including evidence-based medication and/or psychosocial treatments\, and a psychiatric consultant who engages with the team primarily through indirect care. Implementation and clinical considerations for CoCM for substance use disorders will be reviewed. \nTarget Audience \nThis activity is designed for administrative staff\, counselors\, interprofessional teams\, nurses\, pharmacists\, pharmacy technicians\, physician assistants\, physicians\, psychiatrists\, psychologists\, social workers\, students and educators. This activity is accredited for physicians and other healthcare professionals. \nEducational Objectives \n\nDefine the need for substance use treatment in primary care settings.\nList evidence for Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) and usefulness in substance use disorder treatment.\nDescribe strategies to implement CoCM for substance use disorders.\nName clinical learning goals for teams to deliver CoCM for substance use disorders.\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Women & Alcohol: What does stress have to do with it?
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, November 15th for the #VCBHLectureSeries as we welcome Sherry McKee\, PhD\, Director\, Yale Behavioral Pharmacology Laboratory. Dr. McKee will present “Women & Alcohol: What does stress have to do with it?” \nDr. McKee directs a translational program of research focused on treatment development for addictive disorders\, with an emphasis on women and more recently criminal justice populations. Her work spans clinical trials\, behavioral pharmacology\, survey research\, and epidemiological research to uncover mechanisms underlying poor outcomes and to translate these finding into improved interventions. She also leads a federally funded partnership between Yale University\, the of Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services\, and the State of Connecticut Department of Correction\, to develop and implement an integrated system of addiction care for adults returning to their communities following incarceration. \nThe VCBH Monthly Lecture Series was originally created as an in-person series designed as a way to interact and engage with top researchers in the intersectional fields we often work with at VCBH including behavior change\, addiction\, chronic disease\, and health disparities for people who are at increased risk. Following the COVID-19 pandemic\, the VCBH made remote viewing available for the lecture series. \nRemote Registration

SUMMARY:Providing Comprehensive Care in Opioid Treatment Program: A Policy and Provider Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: \n\nMark Parrino\, President and CEO of The American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence\, Inc.\nJennifer Seib\, VP of Strategic Initiatives and Integration at BestSelf Behavioral Health\n\nSponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing–NCMW \nCredit designational available: None \nTarget Audience: Interprofessional teams\, patients\, educators\, nurses\, physicians\, psychiatrists\, psychologists\, executives\, clinical staff\, administrators and social workers. \nAbout the webinar: The current opioid and drug overdose crisis continues to have a devastating impact on morbidity and mortality in the United States. With the rise in use of potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl in the drug supply\, creating linkages to comprehensive substance use related services is critical. Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP) and the comprehensive care and services they provide play a vital role in addressing this need\, yet challenges remain. Despite clear evidence of the benefits of OTP’s\, access to OTPs in some parts of the country is limited; stigma related to the use of methadone remains a challenge. Yet in the face of these headwinds\, many OTPs are providing comprehensive leading-edge services to address the opioid and drug overdose crisis. \nEducational objectives: \n\nExamine current policy landscape for OTP’s.\nDiscuss the value proposition of becoming and OTP.\nIdentify strategies to provide comprehensive services in an OTP.\nDescribe what services can be offered at an OTP.\n\nRegister Now

Individuals from marginalized communities\, including Black\, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and individuals who are uninsured or have lower incomes with opioid use disorders (OUD) often experience challenges accessing and sustaining treatment services. Many of these challenges stem from unaddressed social determinants of health factors (housing\, education\, geography etc.) as well as systemic inequities across all care settings. Lack of attention to these factors can lead to inadequate care for OUD and inadequate support for long-term recovery.we will discuss factors that facilitate and hinder engagement in long-term OUD treatment and recovery for BIPOC individuals\, as well as identify strategies for organizations to assess and effectively address opioid use among BIPOC individuals through addressing social determinants of health. \nEducational objectives: \n\nExamine how social determinants of health may impact initiation of and ongoing substance use\nDiscuss factors that facilitate and hinder engagement in long-term treatment and recovery for BIPOC individuals\nIdentify strategies for organizations to assess and address opioid use among BIPOC individuals through addressing social determinants of health\n\nRegister Now
