Part 1 of our 3-Part Series on Pregnant/Parenting Women and Substance Use Disorders Presenter: Dan Dubovsky, MSW When an individual has behaviors that cause difficulty in treatment settings, we often label the person as being non-compliant, unmotivated, or disruptive. When they are back in treatment numerous times, we say that they are not ready for sobriety. However, their behavior may well be due to brain damage caused by prenatal alcohol exposure, which is much more common than most people suspect. Due to this damage, which spans the intellectual spectrum, evidence based practices that rely on verbal interactions and reward and consequence systems are often not successful with them and set them up to fail. This presentation addresses the importance of recognizing an FASD in those with whom we work or live. The brain damage seen in FASD is examined, along with common behaviors that result from this damage. A method of identifying those with an FASD is identified and how to modify treatment is touched on. Download slides | Watch recording Webinar category: Specific populations, Treatment - General

Presenters: Elizabeth Needham Waddell, PhD; Morgan Nelson, CRM, CADC; Christi Hildebran, LMSW, CADC III; and Erin Stack, MS. October 6, 2020 Sponsored by the Northwest ATTC and the CTN Western States Node. Peer recovery support services are supports provided across the service continuum by credentialed individuals in long-term recovery from alcohol or other drug-related problems. Peer recovery support specialists serving people following release from jails and prisons have a unique responsibility to support community reentry and adherence to community corrections requirements. They may also facilitate entry into treatment post-release and support engagement in recovery services in the months following incarceration. This webinar described the unique role of peer support specialists in the CDC-funded pilot project Reducing Overdose After Release from Incarceration (ROAR). The ROAR pilot combines provision of medication for opioid use disorder with support from Oregon Certified Recovery Mentors (CRMs) to reduce overdose risk among women released from prison.
