SUMMARY:Addiction Policy Forum Webinar: Opioid Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach - Strategies to Reduce Overdose Fatalities
DESCRIPTION:Please join for a webinar on February 2\, 2024\, at 3 p.m. ET on strategies to reduce overdose fatalities from the Opioid-Overdose Reduction Continuum of Care Approach (ORCCA). \nDeveloped through the HEALing Communities Study\, the ORCCA framework can help communities implement system- and practice-level changes to reduce opioid overdose deaths. The HEALing Communities Study\, a multi-site research study\, tested the impact of an integrated set of evidence-based practices across healthcare\, behavioral health\, justice\, and other community-based settings. HEALing Communities is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative®. \nSpeakers will provide an overview of the 19 essential evidence-based interventions in ORCCA designed to reduce opioid overdose deaths and highlight how communities in Ohio\, Massachusetts\, Kentucky and New York implemented ORCCA. The science and evidence behind the framework were published in the Journal of Drug and Alcohol Dependence and outlined 19 essential evidence-based interventions to reduce opioid overdose deaths. \nThis webinar is sponsored by HEAL Connections\, an initiative funded by the NIH HEAL Initiative.  \nFor more information and registration\, click here.

SUMMARY:History of Science Workshop - Making Habits/Breaking Habits: Keywords in the History and Politics of Addiction
DESCRIPTION:Learn more\, click here. \nAs OxyContin was hitting the market in the mid 1990s\, its marketers seized on the recently coined concept pseudoaddiction to drive home a bold claim: that patients in legitimate pain who showed signs of addiction were only behaving that way because doctors were overly stingy with prescriptions. Pseudoaddiction was an iatrogenically-produced behavior\, mimicking addiction – a behavioral byproduct of a callous “war on drugs” mentality in medicine. It was a term that emerged from medical\, social\, political\, and economic agendas\, championed by pain patient advocates and opioid manufacturers\, and eventually criticized by reformers aghast at the marketing-driven opioid crisis that ensued. It was\, in short\, a keyword\, powerful and contested\, whose history must be unpacked to understand the opioid crisis. \nLike pseudoaddiction\, nearly all the terms we use to identify\, understand\, and grapple with addiction and other habits are freighted with multiple registers of meaning\, deployed for medical\, social\, political\, and economic purposes\, and developed to perform important cultural and policy work. This workshop brings together scholars from history\, anthropology\, politics\, medicine\, health policy to examine the history and politics of such consequential keywords and phrases in the making and breaking of habits.  The gathering is a first step toward an edited volume – a critical analysis of consequential keywords and concepts in the vocabulary of addiction and habit. \nThe discussion will focus on a limited number of terms – with papers on “junkie\,” “drunkard\,” “teen users\,” “habitue’\,” “prohibition\,” “recovery\,” “dependence\,” “rebirth\,” “compulsion\,” “stigma\,” “harm reduction\,” and “narco.” The short essays aim to draw attention (through historical as well as social and cultural analysis) to the significance of these terms in the experiences\, representations\, and governing of habits and their making and breaking. The intersections of race\, gender\, identity\, and how these factors shape ideas about habit and policy responses to bad and good habits\, will be one among several points of focus. \nThemes in the making and breaking of habit include: \n\nHow the evolving historical lexicon sheds light on changing approaches to the origins\, creation\, and management of habits;\nAnalysis of the social\, moral\, economic\, and political conditions that led keywords flourish in certain moments and contexts;\nDiscussion of the processes through which problem habits are designated and defined;\nWhich habits come to be categorized as harmful\, beneficial\, necessary\, discouraged but allowed\, etc.\, and why;\nThe significance of changes to the lexicon of liberating people from unwanted habits;\nHow practices\, techniques\, and approaches to “break habits” have been institutionalized and politicized\, ranging from self-help regimens\, religious interventions\, or new regimens to replace old ones\, such as methadone and psychedelic therapy.\n\nWhile drug addictions – their making over time\, their breaking – will be our central focus\, we encourage discussion other habits such as gambling\, food\, social media\, and other such behaviors. Finally\, the workshop’s focus on twelve terms is merely a start toward building a more comprehensive volume of keywords in the history and politics of making and breaking habits.  While many essays focus on the North American lexicon\, this national focus is placed in context by papers that examine important global sites where the lexicon on addiction has been forged and contested.

SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar - Treating High-Functioning Problem Drinkers in Office-Based Psychotherapy Practice: A Clinician’s Toolbox of Moderation\, Harm Reduction\, and Abstinence Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Participants attending this skills-training workshop will come away with an enhanced understanding of the spectrum of alcohol use disorders that vary along multiple dimensions\, how to meet the special needs of high-functioning clients who want an alternative to traditional abstinence-only treatment programs\, and how to utilize a toolbox of evidence-based alcohol moderation\, harm reduction\, and abstinence strategies they can apply immediately in office-based clinical practice. The use of pharmacological adjuncts to enhance the efficacy of behavioral interventions will also be discussed. \nThe integrative client-centered approach described in this workshop advocates a harm reduction perspective that supports incremental change and individualized treatment goals including less risky drinking\, moderate drinking\, and abstinence—and it views any steps taken to reduce the risks and harm associated with substance use are steps in the right direction\, whether or not abstinence is the immediate or ultimate goal. This approach is intuitively appealing and readily adapted for use by psychotherapists from all backgrounds and specialties because it is fundamentally a psychotherapeutic approach founded on the principles and practices of client-centered psychotherapy\, including meeting patients “where they are” and working collaboratively with them to empower positive change rather than demand compliance with pre-determined goals. It is also intuitively appealing to high-functioning individuals who are able to maintain their daily responsibilities despite having clinically significant problems with alcohol and/or other drugs and do not want or need a traditional “one size fits all” addiction treatment program that pressures them to accept the identity of “addict” or “alcoholic” and embrace lifelong abstinence as the only legitimate goal. \nParticipants of this workshop will learn how to help clients take a closer look at their alcohol use\, set realistic goals\, change their drinking patterns\, and acquire a better understanding of the role and meaning of alcohol use in their lives. Lecture material will be brought to life with numerous case examples from the presenter’s practice. Most of the material presented in this workshop is described in the presenter’s most recent book: Washton A.M. and Zweben J.E. (2022) “Treating Alcohol and Drug Problems in Psychotherapy Practice: Doing What Works.” (Guilford Publications). \nInstructor: Arnold Washton\, PhD

SUMMARY:NASEM Health Workshop- Harm Reduction Services for People Who Use Drugs: Exploring Data Collection\, Evidence Gaps\, and Research Needs
DESCRIPTION:Recognizing the public health emergency posed by opioid overdoses\, comprehensive efforts have been taken to approach drug policy in ways that reduce harm for people who use drugs (PWUD). The National Academies will host a 2-day virtual public workshop to explore data collection efforts\, evidence gaps\, and research needs on harm reduction services for PWUD. \nThe workshop will gather data experts\, program implementers\, evaluators\, individuals with lived/living experience\, and other key interested parties to consider existing and proposed harm reduction strategies and services that aim to prevent overdose and infectious disease transmission; enhance the health\, safety\, and wellbeing of PWUD; and offer low-threshold options for accessing substance use disorder treatment. Such strategies and services include syringe services programs; providing fentanyl and xylazine test strips; distributing naloxone and other reversal medications; and facilitating connections to social services for PWUD in need of medical services\, stable housing\, food-assistance\, or employment. \nInvited presentations and discussions will be designed to: \n\nExplore the current state of knowledge and evidence gaps regarding delivering harm reduction services for PWUD in communities\, including evidence on best practices for engaging PWUD who are not currently accessing treatment or harm reduction services\, as well as inclusive service delivery practices\nExamine data collection coverage and gaps at the local\, state\, and federal levels regarding the current state of harm reduction practices in the U.S.\, including survey research and program and grant evaluations\nDiscuss evidence on barriers to the implementation of harm reduction services and programs at the local\, state and federal levels\, and the impact of regulatory barriers relative to other factors affecting harm reduction services\nExplore future data collection needs and key opportunities for federally-sponsored harm reduction research\n\nFor more information and registration\, click here.

SUMMARY:GENA Program Research Meeting featuring Dr. Elizabeth Stone\, "Addressing Services and Policy in a Fragmented System"
DESCRIPTION:The January GENA Program research meeting\, is pleased to host Dr. Elizabeth Stone (Faculty in the RWJMS Department of Psychiatry and Core Faculty for the Center for Health Services Research at the IFH)\, who will be speaking on “Addressing Services and Policy in a Fragmented System”. \nJoin in-person at UBHC North D203\, or via zoom (https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/97652076904?pwd=RXIxeFpLRFR6Q3Q1RU1zTkM2M1lOZz09&from=addon).\nMeeting ID: 976 5207 6904\nPassword: 464439\nJoin by phone: \nABSTRACT: Addressing Services and Policy in a Fragmented System\nThe healthcare system in the United States is extremely fragmented with services for physical and mental healthcare\, addiction treatment\, and social welfare often delivered by different providers in different locations with different eligibility criteria and separate funding mechanisms. The effects of a fragmented system land disproportionately on individuals with serious mental illness\, substance use disorder\, and disability who require more services and often have the least resources to navigate the myriad systems. There are opportunities for intervention at multiple levels (federal\, state\, individual) to address fragmentation and improve outcomes for people living at the intersections of these systems.

SUMMARY:CAI Conference: Best Practices in Trauma Informed Overdose Prevention: Confronting Stigma to Save Lives
DESCRIPTION:While substance use disorders are considered chronic and treatable medical conditions\, studies still show that people who use drugs still face discrimination and stigma that negatively impacts wellness and access to healthcare\, including initiation of medications for opioid use disorder and social services. Thus\, confronting and reducing stigma is critical to addressing the overdose epidemic. \nAs more initiatives unfold across New Jersey to increase access to overdose prevention\, harm reduction\, treatment\, and recovery services\, confronting stigma at multiple levels and creating a culture of change is imperative\, despite the pervasiveness among the public and healthcare providers. Join us to gain insights\, understanding\, connections and strategies to recognize and address stigma across the care continuum to create healing environments that support people who use drugs and the people who care for them.  \nWho should attend:\nCAI strives to build the trauma lens in agencies that work in public health and public safety across the state to foster a trauma-informed ecosystem that allows for compassionate and non-judgmental service delivery approaches. Persons in the field harm reduction\, substance use disorder\, addiction medicine\, HIV prevention and treatment\, including but not limited to front line staff and providers\, community health workers\, overdose fatality review team members\, EMS personnel. \nPlease Note: \n\nThis is a free conference.\nCEU’s are not available for this conference.\nBreakfast and hot lunch to be served.
