The New England ATTC in partnership with the New England Association of Recovery Court Professionals hosted the webinar, “Team Dynamics in Treatment Courts” on November 17, 2021 from 12:00 to 1:30 with subject matter experts, Honorable John M. Julian, Michelle Verdieu-Williams, Stephen Von Sitas, MS, and Heather Scheiwe Kulp.  Treatment courts are successful because of the strong team approach to responding to client behavior. But, what happens when team members slip into old habits and the team struggles to consistently apply best practices? During this session, you will hear from team members on how to strengthen the team relationship, how to ensure each member understands their role on the team, and how to improve communication and collaboration on your teams.

Presented by Eric Ström, JD, PhD, LMHC January 2022 For behavioral health providers, the effectiveness of clinical work is dependent upon the clinician/client relationship. When appropriate boundaries are not maintained, it is these same relationships that can be at the root of serious professional misconduct. In this one hour workshop, participants were provided with a summary overview of the legal ethical standards regarding non-clinical relationships with behavioral health clients. Dr. Ström then applied these standards to discussion of scenarios and real-world examples. The focus was dedicated to applying legal and standards from Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

  Alcohol is STILL a Drug: An Exploratory Webinar Series (December 7, 2021) Recording   The Great Lakes A/MH/PTTC is offering this training for individuals working in HHS Region 5: IL, IN, MI, MN, OH, WI. This training is being provided in response to a need identified by Region 5 stakeholders.     DESCRIPTION  Alcohol is STILL a drug.  The opioid crisis, increase in stimulant misuse, and marijuana legalization dominate the news— yet alcohol remains the number one substance causing health, social, legal and financial problems throughout the US. While this series will focus on the hopefulness of recovery from alcohol use disorder, we’ll also take a deep dive into what we know about the full impact of alcohol overuse and the ways it affects every person in the US.   The December 7, 2021 session will focus on Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment. In this workshop, Joe Rosenfeld will briefly discuss the constant nature of alcohol as an epidemic and the early (pre-1950’s) efforts at treatment and recovery. Then present the emergence of the current Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment system and identify an array of evidence supported practices currently in use.   In the process, Joe will “slay” a long-held treatment practice. But you’ll have to watch to learn which one.   SPEAKER Dr. Joseph Rosenfeld, Psy.D., CRADC., HS-BCP Dr. Rosenfeld is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, a Certified Reciprocal Alcoholism and Other Drug Counselor, and Human Services - Board Certified Professional.  He is a Professor in the Addiction Counselor Training Program within the Human Services Department at Elgin Community College.   SERIES LEARNING OBJECTIVES These are the overall learning objectives for the full 10-session series:  Summarize the current impacts of problematic alcohol use in various/special populations, including pregnant women, youth, rural, and minority populations.  Assess and prioritize alcohol reduction efforts in targeted settings.  Describe the current efforts to curb problematic alcohol use, including best practices in providing treatment.

The rise of polysubstance use, including the use of the so called “goofball,” has implications for morbidity and mortality and raises the complexity of treatment. Treatment options, including use of medications, will be discussed. The session will also cover harm reduction strategies including naloxone, drug surveillance, and drug checking. This session will also include training on how to use fentanyl test strips, as part of a comprehensive public health and harm reduction strategy. Fentanyl test strips are a practical and effective tool for people who use drugs as means to encourage overdose risk education and reduce risk of death. Training will include discussion on distribution, limitations, sourcing, messaging amongst other considerations in the application and administration of use. Launch Date: November 12, 2021   At the conclusion of the training, participants will be able to: 1. Recall the history, epidemiology and use patterns of two (2) drug classes, including synthetic opioids and stimulants. 2. Explain two (2) poly-drug use patterns involving synthetic opioids and methamphetamines and develop treatment strategies. 3. Propose three (3) harm reduction measures to prevent overdose deaths due to synthetic opioids. 4. Identify two (2) steps required when testing drug supply using Fentanyl Test Strips.

Presenter: Callan Fockele, MD, MS, Harborview Medical Center December 2021 This presentation described Dr. Fockele's current work using community-based participatory research to implement harm reduction inside and outside the emergency department. She focused on her recent partnership with Public Health—Seattle & King County, the Addictions, Drug & Alcohol Institute, the Harm Reduction Research & Treatment Center, and the Public Defender Association to establish the Council of Expert Advisors on Drug Use (CEADU), which is composed of local people with lived experience. As a co-investigator on two pilot projects inspired by the passage of Washington State Senate Bill 5476, Dr. Fockele is working with CEADU to create an implementation toolkit that integrates take-home naloxone, buprenorphine treatment, and HIV/hepatitis C testing into first-responder programs while also adapting the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) model to improve encounters between first responders and people who use drugs.
