“ICISF Registered Course: Suicide Prevention, Intervention and Postvention.” (Registered 2 Day Class)

Anne Balboni, Psy.D.

A suicide in the workplace can have a significant impact and cause a number of challenges for a company and its employees. This kind of tragic event impacts the productivity and psychological health of employees and management. When a traumatic event such as a suicide occurs, many businesses are often not adequately prepared and need guidance on how to respond. Why do people kill themselves? How do I ask someone if they are feeling suicidal? What do I do if they say they ARE suicidal? How do I deal with the strong emotions suicide generates? This course will provide discussion opportunities for these and other questions many crisis interventionists have about suicide. It will provide participants with basic information about suicide as well as help participants develop practical skills for prevention, intervention, and postvention. Small group practice opportunities, appropriate for a workplace response will allow participants to apply the suggested techniques as they are learned. Those who seek to provide Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) services in the corporate field must possess a comprehensive understanding of how to interface with a wide variety of businesses and corporations. This is a 2 day class and completion of “Group Crisis Intervention” and receipt of a certificate indicating full attendance (14 Contact Hours) qualifies as a class in ICISF’s (International Critical Incident Stress Foundation, Inc) Certificate of Specialized Training Program. **(see ccsad.com for more details on ICISF)”. **Please note this is a 14-hour course and participants must attend all three of the following sessions to complete the requirements: Thursday 8:30 am – 5:30 pm and Friday 8:30 am – 5:30 pm and 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm on Friday.

“Drawing from Within: The Interface of Creativity and Hope”

Lynn McKnight, ATR-BC, MAC, CCS, LPC/S | Supported by Crossroads Centre Antigua

This multi-media presentation will offer a wide variety of modalities designed to grab the participants’ attention and comprehensively model how powerful, viable, and accessible art in therapy is as a tool with people who suffer the effects of addictions. Art Therapy is effective in helping addicted clients regulate their own emotions and process the confusion. Art therapy helps to organize thought, integrate memories and resulting emotional responses, and creates safe outlets for unresolved emotions such as anger, shame, and grief. Ultimately, this aids in the development of new neural pathways in the brain.

“Healing Addictions and Trauma Through Psychodrama and the 12 Steps”

Arlene K. Story, MS, LMHC, TEP, CSAT, MAC | Supported by The Refuge, A Healing Place

Psychodrama is an experiential therapy that utilizes all of the senses in enacting scenes to resolve and heal the past, address present issues, and explore future events and dreams. Psychodrama is a method that facilitates insight, personal growth, and the integration of the parts of the brain that have been disconnected as a result of trauma. This integration facilitates the brain to heal and changes the way we see and respond to the world. This workshop will include a didactic presentation, experiential work, opportunities to practice some of the techniques that are demonstrated, and time for questions and answers.

“Breaking the Re-Offending Cycle for Offenders with Addiction: The Formula for Change”

Stephen K. Valle, Sc.D., M.B.A., LADC 1, CADAC | Supported by AdCare Criminal Justice Services

Based upon twenty-five years of developing and implementing substance abuse treatment programs in jails, prisons, and community corrections centers, a model for change has emerged that has demonstrated a significant reduction in recidivism. This “model of accountability” will be presented as a resource for those practitioners and managers charged with implementing justice and correctional treatment programs. A unique feature of Dr. Valle’s accountability model is that it is peer driven, but dependent upon involvement and direction provided by pro-social “connectors”. Thus, not only is the offender held accountable, but so are we. Anecdotes, vignettes from recovering offenders, research data, and lively discussions will all be integrated to make this workshop a highlight for attendees.

“Militant Parenting - Helping Parents Help Themselves”

Jerry Brown, Ph.D., MFT | Supported by Sober Living by the Sea Treatment Centers

Parenting is the most difficult job most of us will undertake in our lifetime. Problems at home and more specifically with “problem” children have a huge impact on an individual’s personal / professional pursuits. Drugs, alcohol (also a drug), tobacco, credit, and parents unsure of limits and boundaries have raised a generation of kids who stay in a protracted state of immaturity. This presentation is a painful but at times, hilarious look at turning around a toxic family who will not get on the same page with one another by providing a united front with a realistic approach to setting boundaries and limits for teenagers, parents and families.

“Transforming Treatment for Substance Use Disorders: Twenty Million People and Still Waiting…”

Victor Capoccia, Ph.D.

Have you ever heard the names: Kelvinator or Gibson? How about Bell System? Let’s try closer to home: Mt Pleasant, Beech Hill, MediPlex Hospitals? What these names have in common is that they represent once successful enterprises that no longer exist. Each of these enterprises either did ‘more of the same’ or made efforts to ‘improve’ rather than transform themselves while the context and customer needs changed dramatically around them. This will look at the current environment for providing addiction treatment to the more than 23 million people with this chronic health condition, and identify the major themes of transformation required to meet patient needs in the current environment.

“Getting to the Root of Pathology - Understanding and Treating Trauma”***

Patrick DeChello, Ph.D., M.S.W., RPH, LCSW

Very few things can affect an individual as much as being a victim of trauma. Trauma-based disorders, while considered to be acute disorders, are often chronic and enduring. In fact, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a chronic disorder often requiring multiple interventions over extended periods of time. The consequences to a traumatic experience can occur on physiological, psychological, or behavioral levels. Current research indicates that when children and adults experience a trauma, it later manifests to a myriad of pathologies such as addictions to drugs and alcohol, food, sex, self-injury and more. This all day workshop will explore this in both the child and adult development and offer practical input on effective treatment strategies. *** This course will count 6 hours towards the 12 hours needed for Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS Credential) recertification. See the CEU page for more information.

“The Overlap of Sexual Health and Substance Use Disorders”

Weston Edwards, Ph.D. | Supported by Pride Institute

This interactive workshop will address the overlap of sexual health issues and substance use disorders. A high percentage of clients simultaneously struggle with sexual compulsivity and Internet sexual compulsivity issues that trigger ongoing relapses with chemical use. The workshop will provide ways to conceptualize and treat the overlap to provide our clients the opportunity to move forward in sexually healthy ways. A cognitive based treatment model to treat sexual compulsivity will be reviewed as a complement to a 12-step model of treating chemical addiction.

#202—

“Cultural Implications of Treatment for Individuals with an Addictive Disorder”

Donna M. White R.N., Ph.D., CS, CADAC, Hugh McCray LADC-II & Marc Bell CAC | Supported by Lemuel Shattuck Hospital

The purpose of this workshop is to present the current science that provides evidence based practices to utilize when treating persons from various cultures with co-existing issues of substance abuse. The interactive seminar will identify common belief systems that reinforce the stigma of treating this population. The learner will be given methodologies to identify patterns of addiction, domestic violence, and trauma…all framed within a cultural context.

#203—

“The Challenges of Customer Service in the Chemical Dependency Field”

Jim Fent, M.S., MFTI, PT & Juan E. Lesende, M.Psy. | Supported by Treatment Solutions Network & A Better Tomorrow

The two major schools of thought in the field of Chemical Dependency say that clients, blinded by denial and other defense mechanisms, cannot be trusted to discern what constitutes good treatment. Modern clients demand a high quality of customer service. Modern businesses live or die according to their ability to deliver it. How are we to reconcile these opposing forces? This workshop will review this conflict, its traditional beliefs and practices, and discuss various methodology for resolution.

#204—

“Hope, Change, & the Addicted Family”

John J. O’Neill, LCSW, LCDC, CSAT | Supported by Menninger

Treating a family struggling with addiction is a challenge to say the least. This workshop will provide strategies for helping families embrace and engage in recovery by establishing hope. We will explore the concepts of borrowed and collective hope and how hope is developed and can lead to change. As the family system changes they experience a trauma. Helping families develop hope, explore expectations, and consider change can lead to recovery. Learn how to help families start the process of developing hope and change.

“New Joint Commission Provision of Care, Treatment or Services Standards ”

Mary Cesare-Murphy, Ph.D. | Supported by the The Joint Commission

Effective January 2011, The Joint Commission will introduce the updated Provision of Care, Treatment or Services (PC) standards. The PC chapter is the clinical heart of behavioral health standards. The provision of care, treatment or services to individuals is composed of five core processes or elements: 1. Screening or assessing the needs of the individual served 2. Planning care, treatment or services 3. Providing the care, treatment or services the individual needs 4. Coordinating care, treatment or services 5. Assessing the outcome of care, treatment or services The core processes or elements of the provision of care, treatment, or services should not be seen as separate steps, but rather as interrelated activities in an integrated and ongoing process of care, treatment or services. This presentation will discuss in detail the five core processes/elements that comprise the PC standards.

“New and Exciting Evidence-Based Addiction & Mental Health Treatment: Mind-Body-Spirit”

John Giordano, CAP, MAC, CCJS | Supported by G&G Holistic Addiction Treatment

This workshop demonstrates the employment of the most current modalities previously regarded as “cutting edge” combined with the best of the traditional treatment model. Outcome and performance data will be presented on the most recent advances in addiction and mental health treatment. This workshop will cover the utilization of group/individual/family therapy with nutrition, massage, acupuncture, natural/ibogaine detoxification, yoga, vocational/educational assistance, steam baths, colonic therapies, karate, exercise, 12-step program participation and other modalities. The workshop will be conducted in a lecture format with open question and answer throughout.

“Identifying, Understanding, and Treating High-Functioning Alcoholics”

Sarah Allen Benton, M.S., LMHC | Supported by McLean Hospital

This workshop will examine the personality and behavior characteristics of high-functioning alcoholics and identify how such individuals may present in treatment. There will be discussion of relevant and original research findings specific to highfunctioning alcoholics, as well diagnosis and recovery challenges. In addition, we will compare/contrast the recovery experience of high- and lower-functioning alcoholics. Effective therapeutic strategies will be described. Finally, case studies of highfunctioning alcoholics will be opened for discussion among the audience, with time for a question and answer period.

“Engaging Clients in Motivation-Based Treatments for Tobacco and Nicotine Dependence”

Greg Seward, MSHCA, LADC-I, CTTS-M

This workshop will focus on the message, “Everyone, regardless of their motivation level needs to be offered and engaged in treatment for tobacco and nicotine dependence matched to their motivational level.” Specific examples of Motivational Interviewing applied to tobacco will be explored and techniques learned to engage clients in this recovery effectively. Case examples and discussions along with the opportunity for role-plays will be used.

“Of Brains, Big Books and Bottles: Attachment, Brain Chemistry and The Twelve Steps”

Jess Montgomery, M.D. | Supported by Santé Center for Healing

As science catches up with the concepts of recovery, the understanding of addiction and how it works continues to evolve. From birth, the foundations of both addiction and recovery are both established. Research shows that a majority of addicts studied display consistent attachment styles within relationships. What science tells us about adult relationships is that the chemicals of the brain are those necessary for healthy childhood attachment. Using information from various disciplines, this presentation will review the basics of neurochemistry involved in childhood attachment, addiction, adult relationships and recovery. The final goal will be to validate and reinforce that continued active work with the Twelve Steps and a recovery program may actively reinforce the elements of brain plasticity that allow for permanent change and healing.

“Cultural Issues in Addiction and Treatment”

Juan Harris, M.B.A, M.S., CAP, CAPP, SAP, ICADC & D. John Dyben, M.A., CAP, SAP, CMHP, ICADC | Supported by Hanley Center

Cultural perspectives and diversity in addiction often pose serious obstacles to treatment and recovery. By understanding and addressing cultural and ethnic issues, we become more effective across the spectrum: prevention, assessment, brief intervention, treatment and recovery support. We develop cultural compassion and respect for positive and mutual relationships with each individual. We achieve better communication and assessment skills and identify effective therapeutic interventions. Support systems and self-care plans for long-term recovery will relate to the reality of an individual’s experience and family/social setting.

“The Power of Pause: Master your Fear of Public Speaking” (Not available for CE credit for Psychologists)

Linda Landon, ACC

Public speaking is a number one fear – especially for people in recovery. Whether you run a company, manage a team of employees, facilitate a group, market a treatment program, or counsel clients, anxiety around speaking can detract from your ability to connect with your listeners – and your overall effectiveness. This experiential and interactive workshop will teach you how to have a relaxed and powerful presence that will engage, inspire and motivate anyone listening to you.

“Utilizing a Positive Peer Approach to the Treatment of Difficult Patients”

Michelle L. Maloney, M.S., LPC, CAC Diplomate | Supported by Caron Treatment Centers

In today’s sandwich society, many parents are struggling with the care of their children as well as their own parents. When addiction is added to this dynamic, the family system struggles at even more alarming rates. This is particularly the case with young adults, specifically young adult males. Many of these young men feel the same “sandwich struggle” — the struggle between adolescence and adulthood. This workshop will focus on utilizing a positive peer approach to the treatment of young adult male population, ages 19 – 25. Topics including the family’s impact will be discussed, as this is found to be imperative to the treatment of young men. Also, the effective use of rituals and metaphors will be discussed. Lastly, practical treatment plan ideas will be provided as relapse prevention strategies.

“Coping with Chaos: Strategies in the Treatment of Eating Disorders”

Dena Cabrera, Psy.D. | Supported by Remuda Ranch

Treatment refusal, client resistance, and dropout are common occurrences in eating disorders and are often predicted by the client’s readiness to change. The purpose of this workshop is to provide strategies on how to deal with resistance, work through chaos, and motivate clients for recovery. This presentation explains the Stages of Change Model in treating difficult clients as well as DBT strategies for acceptance and change. We will also discuss the research and assessment data demonstrating the efficacy of this approach with eating disorders. Participants will receive assessment tools and assignments for use with clients.

#254—

“Cognitive Stimulation, Mindfulness Strategies, and Existential Perspective in Group Counseling”

Mohiuddin Ahmed, M.A., Ph.D. & Charles M. Boisvert, Ph.D.

Multimodal Integrative Cognitive Stimulation Treatment (MICST) uses a combination of relaxation and mindfulness exercises; practice in reality-based conversation and social interaction; discussion of mental and or substance abuse, or “illness” related issues, and a discussion of general knowledge (geography, history, astronomy, anthropology) to stimulate a sense of connection to the world around us and to assist clients in reflecting on the existential perspectives of living with uncertainties of life. MICST aims to facilitate clients’ understanding of “illness” management and associated service needs, and help clients think logically about everyday personal problems. MICST also focuses on assisting clients in practicing positive redirection strategies in dealing with obsessive preoccupations with negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that often characterize persons affiliated with a variety of persistent mental illnesses as well as substance abuse conditions.

“Physician Health Programs and Licensing Boards: How Addictive Disorders are Handled”

Stancel M. Riley, Jr., M.D., M.P.A., M.P.H., & Luis T. Sanchez, M.D. | Supported by Physician Health Services

The workshop will provide a history of physician health programs, including a description of the Massachusetts Physician Health Program (PHS) and an overview of the Massachusetts BORM policies for physicians with substance use disorders (SUDs). There will be interactive case discussions with participants to highlight the interactions between the physician health program and licensing board. Discussion of resources available for physicians with health-related problems will follow.

#276—

“Developing an Evidenced-Based Program for Adolescent Addiction and Delinquency”

Wade Myers, M.D. & Lucy Marrero, Ph.D.

This presentation will explore the stages of building an evidenced-based substance/delinquency prevention and treatment program, finding funding for this program, enlisting the community as support, and ensuring successful outcomes. This will be achieved by using two successful programs as examples, which merged techniques to form one program. PALS (Partners In Adolescent Lifestyle Support) is an award-winning (Sapphire Award) program designed to provide lifestyle support to teens in a school environment. The goal of this program is to provide an altruistic atmosphere in the schools where mental illness is understood and all teens feel included and valued.

#278—

“Understanding Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)”

Leslie D. McCrory, LPC, LCAS, CCS

Alcohol use during pregnancy is a leading preventable cause of mental retardation and intellectual disability in the US, yet is seldom discussed or listed on topics of education in treatment centers. This workshop will help participants understand the disorder and referral and evaluation process in addition to the trends, costs, impact and prevention of this disorder. Treatment providers may have better outcomes with patients/clients who are identified with an FASD and have treatment tailored for those who may have been impacted by alcohol exposure. Support and understanding in the treatment setting for birth mothers will also be discussed.

“Substance Abuse at Work: EAP Response to Supervisors and Employees”

Leonard DeBenedictis, LICSW, CEAP & Leslie P. Strachan, LICSW, CEAP, LADC I

Substance abuse in the workplace has changed in the past 15 years. According to the 2007 SAMHSA National Survey on Drug Abuse and Health Report, 79% of heavy drinkers are employed full or part-time and among adults who use illicit drugs, approximately 75% are employed. Drug Free Workplace legislation in the 1990s, drug testing, and the Americans with Disabilities Act have influenced how workplaces and management respond to substance abuse. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) remain a major player in regard to substance abuse. Employees and their families can access confidential, professional assistance. The EAP can also provide an avenue for substance abuse education and consultation. This presentation will examine contemporary EAP response to substance abuse. The presenters, both Employee Assistance Consultants, will review ways that organizations and employees cope with substance abuse today and make recommendations for best practice.

“Invitational Intervention, the ARISE Method—Not Your Father’s Buick”

James Garrett, LCSW-R, CAI, BRI II & Judith Landau, M.B., ChB, DPM, LMFT, CFLE, CAI, BRI II

Contrary to what most clinicians believe, it is possible to work with families to get resistant substance abusers successfully engaged in treatment. The substance abuser does not have to “hit bottom” in order to start recovery. This workshop will focus on the Invitational Intervention method, A Relational Intervention Sequence for Engagement (ARISE) — An EvidenceBased, Best Practice Method to Help Families Get a Resistant Substance Abuser Started In Treatment.

#303—

“Substance Abuse / Dependence in Older Adults ”

C. Chapman Sledge, M.D., FASAM | Supported by Cumberland Heights

As “Baby Boomers” age, the scope of substance use disorders in older adults will change. Elderly patients with substance use disorders often are unidentified in both medical and behavioral health settings. Usual diagnostic criteria are often difficult to apply to older adults. Levels of at risk drinking are substantially reduced for older people. Age-specific screening instruments and diagnostic criteria are much more useful for this population. Age-appropriate interventions will result in better outcomes when an older person is identified as having a substance use disorder. Though few studies exist that address outcomes for older adults engaged in traditional alcohol and drug treatment programs, it is reasonable to expect that outcomes are better with providers knowledgeable about aging issues.

#304—

“The Delivery of Substance–Related Disorder Services Using Conferencing-Based Telemental Health Services”

Stanley James Evans, M.D., FASAM | Supported by Caron Renaissance

Dr. Evans will provide a brief history of the development of telemedicine, its evolving use in delivering telemental health services with a focus on its use in the delivery of addiction medicine services. A brief discussion of some of the obstacles to its use will be discussed. Two key areas will be reviewed: office-based practice, which includes evaluations, medication management, psychotherapy, family therapy and interventions. The second part is an institutional-based practice that involves case manager specialist, interactions with patients and families seeking admission to long-term treatment facilities, the conduction of staff meetings consisting of multidisciplinary staff at several sites, and individual consultations with other healthcare professionals at a variety of clinical sites.

“Sex, Lies and Shame: Treating Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse”

Alan Downs, Ph.D. | Supported by Michael’s House

Often times the most treatment “resistant” clients are those who have struggled since childhood with physical, sexual and emotional trauma. As adults, these survivors often struggle with debilitating symptoms of trauma that, in extreme cases, can manifest as personality disorder traits. This workshop explores the principles of two evidence-based models, Motivational Interviewing and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and how these models can be effectively used to treat addictions in this challenging population, transforming the provider’s perception of “resistance” to realistic optimism for recovery.

“Returning War Veterans: A Reality in Self-Medication”

Alicen J. McGowan, Ph.D., CAS, CMI-I, CADAC, LADC & Gere Unger, (USMC) Director, Inalienable Rights Project, A Veteran’s Collaborative

This discussion will offer research information, practical information, and sound referral/counseling strategies in working with returning veterans. In the last five years, more veterans from Iran and Iraq have been compromised by traumatic brain injury. Since services are limited, many have turned to drugs and/or alcohol to self-medicate. As a result, depression and suicide are escalating. These experts work with veterans and their families and will engage participants in a provocative discussion about addiction treatment options.

“An Overview of Addiction and the Criminal Justice System”

Alan A. Wartenberg, M.D.

This presentation will discuss the history of drug laws, including driving laws, in the United States, emphasizing the nature of drug prohibition in the US, and the various driving forces which have resulted in the US having the highest proportion of its citizens incarcerated or under control of the criminal justice system of all industrialized nations. The impact on those with addiction, including our patients, of this criminal justice-industrial complex will be emphasized, and the trade-offs, including very limited resources for treatment within the criminal justice system, as well as the diversion of treatment resources into the criminal justice system itself, will be discussed.

12:15 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Luncheon & Round Table Discussion – Bass River (Registration Required) #325— “Meeting the Challenges of Diversion”

Wesley Clark, M.D., J.D. | Supported by Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, SAMHSA

Opioid addiction is a significant public health problem in the United States, associated with the spread of infectious diseases, crime, premature death, and significant psychiatric and medical comorbidities. The Drug Abuse Treatment Act of 2000 combined with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of sublingual buprenorphine, a Schedule III controlled substance, for the treatment of opioid addiction have increased the availability of treatment and brought opioid addiction treatment back into mainstream medical practice. However, the increase in buprenorphine availability has also led to an increase in its misuse and diversion. It is important that diversion of buprenorphine be minimized. Despite safety measures in place to guard against diversion of the drug, illegal distribution and abuse of buprenorphine have been reported in the United States, primarily in the Northeast region. Dr. Wesley Clark, the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment, and a published, nationally recognized expert in this field, will address the problems surrounding the problem of diversion of buprenorphine (Suboxone) including the environment in which it is taking place and the efforts to stop it including the role the treatment community can play. Following the presentation and during the luncheon, small group discussions will be facilitated by addiction medicine physicians and specialists focusing on the problems of the diversion of buprenorphine.

“Experiential Therapy with PTSD & Addiction Clients”

Judy Crane, LMHC, CSAT, CAP | Supported by The Refuge-A Healing Place

Experiential therapy in its many forms is an exciting aspect of treatment that allows the client to create new ways of coping with and handling trauma and addiction(s). It can profoundly reinforce healthy ways to diffuse the strong visceral PTSD reaction and simultaneously add to a client’s cognitive skill as he/she works toward trauma resolution and into recovery. Experiential therapy can include Psychodrama, Psychometrics, holotropic breathwork, equine therapy (Eagala, Equine Assisted Therapy), Ropes Course work, RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) Training, Cinema Therapy, Yoga, Guided Meditation, and Art Therapy (collages, body outlines, dioramas, graphic timelines) and creates a potential for a depth of processing that cannot be achieved through conventional talk therapy alone. Art Therapy, Psychodrama, Psychometrics, Cinema Therapy and Yoga/Meditation are some experiential techniques that are cost effective and can produce extremely powerful emotional resolution and depth of insight for the clients regarding their PTSD and addiction etiology.

“Methamphetamine Dependence and Best Practice Treatment Elements”

Roman Buivydas, Ph.D., LMHC | Supported by Spectrum Health Systems

This presentation provides a solid basic understanding of methamphetamine dependence and reviews best practice elements that are used in treatment. Methamphetamine is an extremely addicting central nervous system stimulant that has a structure similar to dopamine. Methamphetamine usage has more prolonged cognitive, behavioral, and emotional effects on the central nervous system than even cocaine or amphetamine. As a result, withdrawal is also more intense, painful, and longer lasting. Consequently, recovery is complicated by physical and mental illnesses that require treatment approaches be tailored to this particular stimulant’s effects. To this end, select elements of best practice treatment approaches will be reviewed.

“FRESH OUTTA PLANS: When Everything In Your Bag of Tricks Doesn’t Work Anymore”

Jeanie Griffin, D.D., LPC, LMFT, LCDC, BRI II | Supported by Origins Recovery Centers

“No one escapes. Finally I had arrived at a place every human does just before surrender. I was Fresh Outta Plans. When I began on this journey, it was as if I was on one side of a great crevasse. On the other side stood people who beckoned me to trust the process of healing and jump! Inside of me was a hole in my soul where the wind whistled through. The hole was a spiritual hunger filled with ‘plans’ I had accumulated through out my life. The excavation of my True Self lay before me. I was on a spiritual journey but went to the wrong address.” Jeanie Griffin premiers Fresh Outta Plans (FOP), an original therapeutic model which weaves the spiritual foundation of recovery’s “SOUL-U-TION” with best clinical and medical practices. Trust the process and jump into this workshop. The FOP model is grounded in simplicity, driven by spirituality, fueled by a sense of humor and will provide you with clinical tools to assist in healing individuals, families and communities.

Joshua D. Lee, M.D., M.S.

Treatment of alcohol dependence in general care settings fills an important need among patients not otherwise accessing specialty treatment. Chronic care models familiar to both general practitioners and psychiatrists are broadly adaptable to XR-NTX treatment and medical management, which includes counseling around behavior change, medication adherence, and long-term follow-up. Faculty experienced in XR-NTX management among underserved populations will review recent effectiveness data, teach recommended injection techniques in a ‘hands-on,’ participatory session, and lead case-based reviews of important treatment and counseling issues.

Dan Hall-Flavin, M.D., & Ted Laska, CADC | Supported by Mayo Clinic

Psychiatric comorbidity remains a substantial challenge to success in the process of recovery in addiction. An evolving evidence base now reaches beyond a more traditional focus on epidemiology alone to include a more sophisticated appreciation of etiology, diagnostic challenges, and treatment delivery/outcomes. This presentation will explore the literature through didactic presentation and case-discussion with audience participation and review the Mayo Clinic model of care and outcomes associated with that model.

“Relationships Among Addiction, Spirituality and Depressive Disorders”

Michael Weiner, Ph.D., CAP | Supported by Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches

Two studies conducted at Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches, a residential substance abuse treatment facility, looked at the relationships that exist among spirituality and depression among the patient population. Results clearly indicated that patients may be both spiritual and religious. However, a strong negative relationship exists between spirituality and depression; as spirituality increases, depression decreases. The relationship with religiosity was consistently positive; as religiosity increases, so does depression. Recommendations for treating depression and increasing spirituality through creativity will be presented.

“Suicide and Risk Assessment in High-Risk Consumers”

Kirk Woodring, LICSW, CGP | Supported by Brattleboro Retreat

Although suicide rates over the past decade have gradually declined, suicide attempts, and parasuicidal behavior continue to increase in frequency across the country. Assessing for risk requires not only understanding the intensity of ideation, the plan, and the means, but also knowledge of cultural, racial and socio-economic pressures that may potentiate risk. This workshop will provide an analysis of the clinical and social factors influencing risk, as well as tools to use for interviewing and intervening with high risk individuals.

“Addiction Treatment Public Policy”

Donald J. Kurth, M.D., M.B.A., M.P.A., FASAM

The science and medicine of addiction treatment consists of a vast and growing body of knowledge and skills. Outcome studies for most programs show success rates equivalent to treatment of other chronic diseases such as asthma, hypertension and diabetes. Some treatment modalities boast results exceeding 90%. Yet despite our scientific and clinical successes, for most of us working in addiction treatment, our efforts to provide treatment for our patients are stymied on an ongoing basis and we are faced with daily frustration regarding the access to quality care. But these dilemmas can be solved and the solutions are within our grasp. The solutions are not of a scientific or medical nature, though; these problems must be solved on a public policy level. This talk will explore how we can change America’s public policies as they relate to the treatment of patients suffering from addiction. Registration Required. Come casual and enjoy and evening on the Cape! $65 per person – everyone welcome!

“The Psychodynamics of Narcissism and Addiction: Strategies for Treatment and Aftercare”

Rokelle Lerner, M.A. | Supported by Cottonwood Tucson

Many addicts suffer from false pride, entitlement and grandiosity that don’t disappear with sobriety.

“A Buprenorphine-Based Model of Inside-the-Walls Treatment and Outside Referral”

Frederick L. Altice, M.D.

HIV-infected prisoners fare poorly after release. Though rarely available, opioid agonist therapy (OAT) may be one way to improve HIV and substance abuse treatment outcomes after release. This workshop will review 69 HIV-infected prisoners enrolled in a study who met DSM-IV criteria for opioid dependence. They selected either methadone or buprenorphine/naloxone as their opioid agonist therapy. Twelve-week HIV and substance abuse treatment outcomes are reported.

“Genetic Implications for Treatment and Prevention”

Norman G. Hoffmann, Ph.D.

This presentation will present current research findings involving more than 80 gene alleles identified as influencing risks for alcohol, nicotine, and other drug dependence. Implications for treatment will be presented in the context of clinical diagnostic information showing that clinical practices need to be cognoscente of genetic influences, but do not require genetic tests. The complexity of genetic-environmental interactions will be illustrated in terms of the risks for dependence vs. probability of initial use. Examples of prevention implications will include the discussion of findings that risks for nicotine addiction are related to the age of onset and genetic predisposition. Those who begin smoking prior to the age of 12 have high risks and those with certain gene alleles have higher risks still, but the genetic influences for one gene are not found if use begins after the age of 17. Effective prevention programs can overcome genetic predispositions to reduce addiction risks for nicotine. We will examine the genetic and environmental interactions as they relate to the design and evaluation of prevention and treatment programs.

“Working with the Aggressive and/or Criminal Substance Abuser”

Carl Fulwiler, M.D., Ph.D.

Addiction is often associated with criminal behavior. Patients suffering from substance abuse disorders are also at increased risk for violence, suicide, accidents, incarceration, job loss, family discord, and a variety of medical complications. Careful assessment of the individual with a substance abuse disorder and criminal or aggressive behavior should include collecting the relevant information necessary for distinguishing between addiction-related behavior and Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD). Coercion, or mandated treatment, can be an important component of treating the aggressive and/or criminal substance abuser. Alcohol and substance abuse often compromise an individual’s cognitive and volitional capacity, thus coercion or mandated treatment may be the best option for helping such individuals initiate addiction treatment and begin the process of long-term recovery. Coercion can result in improved psychological status and social functioning, reduced criminal activity, and improved health.

“Spiritual Awakenings: The Benefits of Spiritual Practice in Substance Dependence Treatment”

Rev. Carol W. Bolstad, ojd, MA, MATS, LADC – I

Twelve step work has proposed a way of life that ultimately can lead not only to abstinence and sobriety, but to a restoration of joy in life through having a spiritual awakening. While not a religious program, AA and the many 12 step programs that have sprung from its roots, promotes precepts that are consistent with many world religions, humanistic and religious philosophies of life. Clinicians and other providers can assist clients in working towards the attainment of a spiritual awakening by providing opportunities for clients to explore and affirm various aspects of the spiritual life, thus contributing to longer term recovery. In recognizing that substance use disorders are diseases of the brain, and that the brain has a remarkable capacity for recovering from the damages caused by substance dependence, we will examine the link between the positive benefits of meditative practice and the health of the brain. Additionally participants will be exposed to various methods of meditation, contemplation and mindfulness and explore the differences and similarities of religion and spirituality in order to reduce provider bias and attain openness to the various beliefs of those they serve.

“The Power of Paws in Treatment”

Theresa Slayton, LCSW, LMHC, MAC

Animal-Assisted Therapy is becoming more popular and effective in a myriad of settings from mental health clinics, hospitals, schools, prisons, residential programs and private settings. This presentation will focus on and demonstrate how utilizing animal assisted therapy with a certified animal in various settings with all ages will quickly build a therapeutic alliance and furnish opportunities to open up communication between the client and the therapist. For those raised with addiction or are addicted, animal-assisted therapy is a powerful tool that creates a safe environment for recovery issues to be addressed. An animal can provide a non-threatening relationship and can easily establish trust, especially to those who have learned to not trust, talk or feel. The magic of the human-animal bond fosters getting to the recovery issues, identifying triggers and prevention planning quicker in a time sensitive world professionals are forced to operate in. Case examples and a group demonstration will be provided, along with a question and answer period.

“Integrated Experiential Therapy – Engaging the Body, Mind, and Spirit to Disarm Defenses”

Dawn Zurlinden, MSSW, LCSW | Supported by The Ranch

It’s been said that addiction is a treatment-resistant disease. When therapeutically framed, the simple act of physically stepping forward can have the power to shift resistance to willingness. Suddenly therapy becomes an event, instead of a discussion of an event. Experiential techniques, integrated with emphasis on the response of the body, promote spontaneous responses that short-circuit intellectualization. They offer opportunities to take present-moment actions, using the creative capacity of the mind as well as somatic awareness and expression of the spirit. This session will include demonstration and interactive immersion, providing the environment to experience the effect of varied experiential techniques. The participants will get to use the creative process to develop and practice pieces relevant to their specific treatment populations and situations.
