SUMMARY:Ireta Webinar: How to Recognize\, Respond to\, and Elicit Change
DESCRIPTION:“Change talk” is a Motivational Interviewing expression that refers to language a client or patient uses that favors change. Recognizing\, responding to\, and eliciting change talk are three crucial skills practitioners must develop and apply to support clients/patients in making change. Whether in the context of a brief intervention or in an ongoing counseling relationship\, when people use change talk to voice their intrinsic motivations\, they are more likely to make a change. This webinar will review the technical aspects of recognizing\, responding to\, and eliciting change talk. It will also offer an opportunity to practice each of the above. \nPresenter: \nAlex Waitt is a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) and works regionally in western Pennsylvania and nationally\, supporting organizations to integrate Motivational Interviewing into their work practices\, both clinically and administratively. For more information please reach out to Alex at alexwaitt@foxandbeellc.com

SUMMARY:SAMHSA Recovery Month Webinar: Recovery Among Diverse Populations
DESCRIPTION:“E pluribus unum” (“Out of many\, one”) is more than the motto of the United States:  It is an essential part of the American experience.  The U.S. population is increasingly ethnically diverse—for example\, Hispanics/Latinos now make up 16 percent of the population.  Racial diversity is also evident\, with Whites (72 percent)\, African Americans (13 percent)\, Asian Americans (5 percent)\, American Indians and Alaska Natives (0.9 percent)\, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (0.2 percent)\, people of more than one race (3 percent)\, and those from other groups (6 percent) making up the population. Recovery from mental and/or substance use disorders—a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness\, live self-directed lives\, and strive to reach their full potential—share similarities for all on this journey\, regardless of community or background.  For example\, the major dimensions that support a life in recovery—health\, home\, purpose\, and community—as well as the guiding principles are similar for everyone. However\, the ways that recovery is sought\, supported\, and maintained are diverse and very much influenced by culture.  Panelists will discuss some of the different ways that people from diverse communities find their pathways to recovery and the various challenges they may face.  The show will also review resources for understanding different cultural perspectives about behavioral health conditions and those designed to enhance the cultural consciousness of providers and organizations.

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Electronic Screen and Addiction
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on the correlation between impulsive and prolonged use of electronic screens and potential for developing substance addiction. Recent studies indicate a potential link between excessive use of electronic devices and substance addiction as a function of age (with younger children at greater risk). A critical role of the parent-child relationship during early and middle childhood is to strengthen the child’s impulsive control skills. Relationships between parents and children are often strained due to the lack of shared bonding. Participants will explore the link between prolonged screen use\, impulse control\, family relationships\, and risk of mental health/addiction development in children and teens. Treatment ideas will be practiced using application scenarios. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain the impact of impulsive screen use to the parent/child relationship.\nApply specific prevention/treatment strategies to increase familial bonds in parent-child dyads to reduce impulsive behaviors.\nDescribe the correlation between early/middle childhood screen use and the development of addiction/mental health issues in adolescence and adulthood.

SUMMARY:CTN Webinar: Testing Chronic Care Models for  Tobacco Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:The CTN Web Seminar Series presents: Anne Joseph\, MD\, MPH. \nTreatment of tobacco use disorder is challenging\, and many smokers require multiple quit attempts before they achieve long term abstinence. Nevertheless\, typical treatment is based on a discrete model of care lasting 8-12 weeks\, with little attention to how or if treatment should be modified in subsequent quit attempts. This presentation will describe two randomized clinical trials for smoking cessation. The Tobacco Longitudinal Care (TLC) study showed that a chronic care model significantly improved long-term quit rates compared to usual care. The Program for Lung Cancer Screening and Tobacco Treatment (PLUTO) is a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) that includes three potential randomizations for current smokers who are undergoing lung cancer screening with low dose CT scanning. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nDiscuss the relevance of longitudinal care treatment interventions for substance use treatment.\nReview the strengths and weaknesses of a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) for substance use treatment interventions.\nConsider the challenges of implementing a chronic care treatment model for substance use treatment.\nEvaluate the relevance of the tobacco use disorder example to investigations of marijuana\, opiates\, or other drug treatment.\n\nClick here to register

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Neurocounceling
DESCRIPTION:Neurocounseling is a relatively new approach in addiction treatment that has been shown to be effective for a variety of addiction related issues including recovery management and relapse prevention. Neurocounseling is based on the fact that behavioral and psychological symptoms have underlying neurological foundations. Addiction counselors can help clients bridge the gap between brain and behavior by becoming “brain-wise” and using neurocounseling interventions that target recovery and relapse prevention. This webinar will cover the basics of neurocounseling and highlight two interventions that addiction counselors can use in their practice. \nLearning Objectives\n\nIdentify the basics of neurocounseling and how to incorporate neurocounseling interventions into their practice.\nExamine two specific neurocounseling recovery and relapse prevention interventions to use with clients.\nAssess the effectiveness of neurocounseling interventions used with clients.\n\n

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Special Considerations in Substance Use Disorder Habilitation Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Habilitation clients are creating a framework for recovery for the first time. Many deficits in the areas of knowledge\, critical thinking\, values\, and emotional literacy are present. Constructing a recovery plan requires psycho-education\, role playing\, testing\, building social support\, treating institutionalization\, and a clear model of care for core clinical issues (e.g.\, power and control\, excitement\, crisis\, and chaos\, rigid defense mechanisms\, emotional manipulation\, social support etc.). This session focuses on aspects unique to this particular client and strategies to facilitate emotional growth in recovering. \nLearning Objectives\n\nPractice a framework that addresses the many aspects of “arrested development.\nLearn strategies with utilizing “learning experiences” as a method of intervention.\nIdentify a list of core clinical issues and how to address these issues.

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Mindfulness in Recovery
DESCRIPTION:The techniques taught in mindfulness play a critical role in relapse prevention. The core mindfulness skills\, taken from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)\, enhance a client’s ability to increase awareness of the present moment\, increase the time spent in the present\, and be in control of his or her mind. This then decreases the amount of mood dependent behaviors\, such as using drugs and alcohol and there addictive behaviors. The concepts of mindfulness can also be found all throughout the 12 step program. This presentation will offer education of mindfulness skills found in DBT and give exercises to implement in treatment and recovery to assist clients with understanding how these skills can help them with continued sobriety. \nLearning Objectives\n\nUnderstand the goals of mindfulness\, how it will benefit the client\, and how it relates to recovery.\nUnderstand the basic concepts of mindfulness and how to utilize the skills with the client.\nTake away mindfulness exercises to practice immediately with the client.

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been shown to be useful in the treatment of addictive disorders. The cornerstones of ACT include principles of mindfulness\, remaining open to new ideas\, and moving toward one’s values rather than escaping one’s feelings. In short\, accepting feelings rather than escaping them and moving toward values rather than toward suffering define the goals of this type of behavioral therapy. Introducing patients to these principles can be done early in drug and alcohol treatment and set the tone for ongoing therapy. This workshop will demonstrate practical techniques that can be used in any therapeutic setting. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the basic matrix of ACT.\nUtilize specific techniques that can be used in drug and alcohol treatment at any stage of treatment.\nCreate a general plan for therapy sessions that can be individualized for themselves and their patients in any given setting using ACT principles.

SUMMARY:Science Series: Initiating Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder in the Emergency Department
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Ryan McCormack and Dr. Kathryn Hawk\nThe Emergency Department (ED) is a critical venue to initiate SUD interventions. ED patients have a disproportionately high prevalence of SUD\, are at an elevated risk of overdose\, and many do not access healthcare elsewhere. Despite this\, SUD interventions are rarely initiated in EDs. Drs. Hawk and McCormack will review common barriers to initiating treatment in the ED\, including stigma\, lack of resources\, and perceptions of SUD as chronic\, non-emergent conditions more appropriately addressed elsewhere. Drawing on recent and ongoing research\, they will describe best practices for the treatment of opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder in the ED. Interventions to be discussed include ED-initiated buprenorphine\, extended-release naltrexone\, and naloxone distribution. \n  \nSee the Science Series for more information.
