The intent of this course is to serve as a bridge to intensive technical assistance for healthcare organizations seeking to implement contingency management (CM) programming in their setting. The course offers coordinated instruction and resources specific to decision makers (those in organizational leadership roles positioned to make systems-level decisions about how resources are used for clinical services). This course includes an introduction to CM describing its core elements, scientifically-supported systems, and how it can be used in healthcare settings to have a positive impact on clients. It also offers unique content on how personnel in the Decision Maker role can contribute to the successful integration of CM into the clinical services their organization offers. For organizations utilizing this course, a strongly recommended initial step is for those in leadership roles to complete the decision-maker course module, including its activity for drafting CM programming customized to the settings needs and resources. Once leaders have formulated and discussed these initial ideas about CM programming, the content of course modules for Clinical Supervisors and Direct Care Staff are likely to be more useful to those staffing groups. Given the complexities of implementing a systems-level practice like CM, organizations are urged to additionally seek out consultation and coaching as intensive technical assistance via a Technology Transfer Center in their region. Also available: Clinical Supervisor, Direct Care Staff, and Administrative Support Staff courses. 1.0 hour Continued Education Available, NAADAC

National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) increases awareness and understanding of mental health and substance use disorders and encourages individuals in need of treatment and recovery services to seek help. Recovery Month celebrates individuals living lives in recovery and recognizes the dedicated workers who provide the prevention, treatment, and recovery support services that help make recovery possible. Recovery is for everyone because it benefits everyone. In recovery, we build new connections to ourselves, our families, and our communities. The 2021 National Recovery Month theme, “Recovery is for Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Community” reminds people in recovery and those who support them, that recovery belongs to all of us. We are all called to end gatekeeping and welcome everyone to recovery by lowering barriers to recovery support, creating inclusive spaces and programs, and broadening our understanding of what recovery means for people with different experiences.

These Telehealth MOUD Video Demonstrations show distinct clinical interactions common across the medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) modality. Except for the first two videos listed (Buprenorphine Induction and Re-induction to Buprenorphine), which show the same mock patient at two stages along his treatment trajectory, the videos in this collection are independent depictions showcasing different settings, patient situations, and provider types. The common thread for these videos is that each patient portrayed has an opioid use disorder and is considering or engaged in medication treatment. This set of videos may be useful for individuals entering the MOUD workforce or for MOUD patients and family members curious about what happens at various points in treatment.  Produced by the Northwest ATTC (SAMHSA grant no. TI080201), in co-sponsorship with Southeast ATTC (SAMHSA grant no. TI080215) and the ATTC Network Coordinating Office (SAMHSA grant no. TI080205). We thank the clinicians involved for their conceptual contributions to the development of these characters and the clinical scenario.
