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: Addiction as a Relational Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Innumerable explanations and treatment models have been proffered for addressing addictions and addictive behaviors in our current era. Advances in behavioral and affective neuroscience have significantly advanced these endeavors. At the same time\, neuroscience and its integration into counseling is growing at a rapid pace and providers need to know how to respond. One key area of integration involves treatment of both addictions and relationships. This session will address both addiction and relational disorder from a neuroscience integration perspective. Specifically\, it explores the links between relational deficits and vulnerability to addiction. It describes the neurobiological connections between the two\, along with recommendations for effective treatment. \nLearning Objectives\n\nDiscuss brain basics that have the most relevance for counseling practice with addictions and relational disorders.\nExplore the deleterious effects of non-nurturing early environments on the brain.\nExamine interventions for relational trauma and addiction\, using a Metaphoric Model of brain-based counseling.

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: 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: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: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.

SUMMARY:PCSS-O Webinar: Prescribing Opioids for Pain at the Time of Changing Pain Management Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Opioids have become an important topic in medical\, public health\, and political debate. Opioids are a very versatile class of analgesics; however\, they have many side effects\, including abuse and addiction\, and under those circumstances they lead to overdose deaths. Prescription opioids for pain relief have come under scrutiny as the identified source of abused opioids. To minimize and prevent misuse of opioids\, a number of professional societies have developed guidelines placing opioids as the second or third line of therapy\, or only after all treatments fail. For practicing neurologists\, same as for all clinicians\, most important starting point is the most specific pain diagnosis. This should lead to a number of treatment options that do not rely on opioids\, as with radicular low back pain and diabetic painful neuropathy\, where professional societies have provided recommendations. \nEducational objectives: \n\nDiscuss pharmacological properties of opioids as analgesics\nReview pain assessment of neuropathic pain disorders\, such as low back pain and diabetic painful neuropathy\nDiscuss treatment options\, minimizing reliance on opioids\, while recognizing that a few patients will require treatment with opioids

SUMMARY:NAADAC Webinar: Value Based Reimbursement
DESCRIPTION:Under value-based reimbursement\, general healthcare providers are challenged to improve patients’ health while decreasing costs. Administrators realize the importance of behavioral health issues\, but they’re not sure how to address them. Ample research documents that behavioral screening and intervention (BSI) – a package of alcohol and drug screening\, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT)\, smoking screening and cessation services\, and depression screening and collaborative care – would help general healthcare settings meet their new goals\, but few have implemented it. Come learn how treatment programs that offer BSI can establish valuable partnerships with general healthcare organizations\, create a new referral pipeline\, and thrive under value-based reimbursement. \nLearning Objectives\n\nExplain the incentives created by value-based reimbursement programs and how addressing behavioral risks and disorders would meet those incentives.\nDelineate the process of behavioral screening and intervention (BSI) and how it would help general healthcare providers meet their goals under value-based reimbursement.\nDescribe best practices for implementing BSI in general healthcare settings.

SUMMARY:PCSS-O: Peer Assistance for the Dental Team Member with Opioid Dependency
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use Disorders (e.g. opioid and other substance disorders) are such in their presentation that the deepening shame and guilt of the dental team member who has the disorder typically leads to more and more isolating behavior as the disorder progresses. Peer assistance programs work with the person with the malady to treat the disorder thus drawing the team member back into being an active and productive member of the dental team. This presentation will follow the process of help for the one who needs the help in learning to live a different way of living with this chronic disorder. \nEducational objectives: \n\nGive examples of behaviors that can lead other dental team members to the identification of someone with a substance use disorder e.g. opioid dependency\nShow how assessment and referral to appropriate treatment can lead the team member back into an active and productive practice\nA look at various types of group meeting settings where the individual can see\, hear\, and meet others i.e. peers who have similar disorders\nShow methods of accountability for the person and for the team in allowing the individual back into practice\nDetermining factors for whether law enforcement and licensing Boards need to be involved
