Program Schedule Wednesday, April 19, 2017

7:30 – 8:20 am Coffee and Registration / Exhibit Area Open

8:20 – 8:30 am Welcome, Opening Remarks Robert White, LCPC, Conference Chairman, Director of Behavioral Health University of Maryland, Department of Psychiatry

8:30 – 9:30 am PLENARY: Diverse Pathways to Recovery: Common Themes, Science... and Challenges Michael T. Flaherty, PhD, Clinical Psychologist and Founder, Institute for Research, Education and Training in the Addictions, Pittsburgh, PA The science of addiction treatment still focuses on addressing the pathology. Yet today some 35-45 million Americans thrive daily in recovery. What can they teach us? What about recovery from the illness? Is there a structure to recovery? If so, what are those pathways and are there themes they share? Dr. Flaherty will discuss what an emerging science of recovery teaches us within the context of current challenges such as overdose prevention, workforce, medication- assisted treatment, prevention and treatment itself—within a recovery-oriented system of care. Clinical impact, elements for success and outcomes from across the nation will be noted.

9:30 – 10:30 am PLENARY: Policing: A Public Health Solution? Major Neill Franklin (ret.), Executive Director, Law Enforcement Action Partnership Often explained as the result of a few bad actors, police abuses are increasingly recognized as systemic failures that actually undermine public order leading some public health experts to cite this violence as a public health crisis. Militarized policing was expanded in the U.S. under drug war policies, providing heavy financial incentives for targeted policing in communities of color resulting in mass incarceration and extrajudicial killings. These disparate impacts, which have been well-documented, range from every day stops and searches to arrest and incarceration to extrajudicial killings. The physical and mental strain and harm that individuals and communities experience – and the stress and blowback faced by law enforcement – challenge public health practitioners to respond; therefore, the police are certainly not thought of as a public health solution. But what if they could be? What would it take? What needs to change?

10:30 – 11:00 am Coffee Break / Exhibit Area Open

11:00 – 11:30 am PLENARY: Facing Addiction: Creating a National MovementTerry M. Rubenstein, Facing Addiction, Founding Board Member; Director, Meyerhoff Family Office; Trustee Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds

Ms. Rubenstein will present the work of Facing Addiction, a national non-profit organization dedicated to finding solutions to the addiction crisis by unifying the voices of over 45 million Americans and their families directly impacted by addiction. Facing Addiction brings together the best resources in the field to help reduce the human and social costs of addiction. Facing Addiction continues its work to build a national constituency to give the millions affected by addiction a voice, and its efforts to “rebrand addiction” to create the understanding, empathy, outrage and demand urgently needed to advance solutions.

11:30 am – 12:30 pm PLENARY: Opioid Addiction Treatment and Recovery Including a Medication: The Science and the Practice

Yngvild Olsen, MD, MPH, Medical Director of the Institutes for Behavior Resources Inc./REACH Health Services

This session is designed to advance the understanding of medication-assisted treatment as a crucial element to community wellness in an era of healthcare reform. Receiving medication-assisted treatment is one part of a person’s recovery process. Dr. Olsen will focus on the physician’s point of view on MAT and how it is instrumental in the recovery process. Dr. Olsen will present information for organizations to better understand the recovery process for individuals receiving medication-assisted treatment and discuss how they can assist individuals in their recovery process. 12:30 – 2:00 pm Lunch – Two options

• The regular Conference Lunch is in the Grand Ballroom, 4th Floor (no extra charge 1,000 in attendance)

• The NCADD-MD Awards Luncheon will be in the Camden Yards Lobby (there is an additional charge for the Awards Luncheon, limited to 400)

2:00 – 3:30 pm Workshops – Session I (see next 2 pages)

3:30 – 3:45 pm Break / Exhibit Area Open

3:45 – 5:00 pm Workshops – Session II Workshops will be held twice, once at 2:00 pm and once at 3:45 pm

Tuerk Conference on Mental Health & Addiction Treatment

29th

Workshops Once at 2:00 pm and once at 3:45 pm

Beyond Buprenorphine: The Cor-12 Model for Providing Medication-Assisted Treatment Emily Brunner, MD, Staff Physician, Hazelden, Betty Ford FoundationSince 2012 Hazelden Betty Ford has been working to combat the opioid use disorder epidemic via use of medication-assisted treatment as well as additional resources, such as sober housing, mental health treatment and chemical dependence treatment. Our goal has been to provide a long-term model for patients to stay involved in treatment as long as this is needed, and individualize treatment depending on the specific patient. This has resulted in a reduction in patients leaving treatment early within the residential setting. The components of this program and sample cases from clinical practice within this program over the last two years will be presented.

Enlarging the Tent: Expanding Options in the Recovery Support Community George Kolodner, MD, Medical Director, Kolmac Outpatient Recovery Centers Dr. Kolodner will moderate a panel of experts who represent traditional and newer volunteer organizations that are dedicated to promoting recovery from addictions, in parallel with or outside of professional treatment. Marc Bartholomew, Celebrate Recovery, a national Christ-centered ministry designed to help people in recovery based on the 8 Beatitudes of The Bible; Hugh Delaney, S.M.A.R.T. Recovery, a self-empowering addiction recovery support group, where participants learn tools for addiction recovery based on the latest scientific research and participate in a world-wide community which includes free, self-empowering, science-based mutual help groups; and Jen G., Baltimore Intergroup Council of Alcoholics Anonymous, a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism.

Reconstructing Family Dynamics in Addiction TreatmentSam Bierman, BS, Executive Director for Maryland Addiction Recovery Center (MARC)Cheryl Caplan-Zalis, MSW, LCSW, MARC Clinical Director Family engagement is vital in offering the most comprehensive addiction treatment possible. This means aiding families as they deal with the fallout of their loved ones’ addiction and its impact on them, including: emotional turmoil, stress, anxiety, trauma and financial burdens. The presentation will talk about the importance of regular communication and family treatment sessions.

Drugs, Alcohol, and Mental Health: Where and How Does Gambling Fit?Victor Ortiz, MSW, LADC I, CADC II, Intervention and Treatment Support Director at the Massachusetts Council on Compulsive GamblingThe growing trend of research aimed at exploring the issues related to problem gambling has raised many questions in its association to drugs, alcohol, and mental health. This workshop is aimed at identifying the interconnectedness of problem gambling to addiction and mental health within clinical practice. Strategies for managing treatment barriers and best practice will be shared and discussed. Also, with the DSM-5 reclassification of Gambling Disorder, it has created clinical opportunities in the treatment of addiction. The new diagnostic criteria of Gambling Disorders, as well as its relationship to clinical practice will also be discussed.

Advancing Justice and Public Safety SolutionsMajor Neill Franklin, Executive Director, Law Enforcement Action Partnership One of the greatest detriments to our justice system is the failed war on drugs. Not only have these policies been largely ineffective in reducing rates of substance abuse and disease, they have been counterproductive to public safety. The ballooning of our prison population from under 1/2 million in the 1970s to 2.3 million today, largely in part to attempting to solve the public health crisis of addiction with criminal justice solutions, has made our communities less safe. The incarcerated seldom receive the treatment, education and preparation necessary for success before returning home to our communities. Saddled with convictions and absent the necessary skill-sets and assistance for legal success, they are quickly drawn into a life of criminality and substance abuse. How do we create a more just system for those suffering from substance abuse? Can we move substance abuse from within our criminal justice system squarely into the hands of our healthcare?

The Cannabis Policy SpectrumEric Sterling, JD, Executive Director, Criminal Justice Policy FoundationThis workshop will describe the range of cannabis policy options: Medical cannabis, as authorized by the Maryland General Assembly and tolerated by the U.S. government; decriminalization of possession of cannabis in Maryland; and varieties of legalization for adults from D.C. to Colorado. These policies touch many considerations – minimizing a variety of harms to youth and adult users and the general public, minimizing crime connected to the cannabis business (in the U.S. and in neighboring nations), minimizing public expenditures in law enforcement and corrections, obtaining tax revenue from the market in cannabis, enhancing respect for the law, supporting parental and family policies, supporting individual liberty.

Cure for Burnout: RECHARGE with Meditation, Yoga, and Conscious BreathingMary E. Tessman MA, LCPC, Mindfulness-based clinical psychotherapist, meditation and yoga teacher, & leads monthly experiential and psycho-education workshops Therapists and counselors are proficient at providing outstanding care and treatment for their clients, however they often neglect their own needs, thus finding themselves physically exhausted, mentally fatigued, emotionally drained, and running on exhaust fumes with little left to offer. We become better role models for our clients when we are engaged in our own committed self-care programs that mediate compassion-fatigue and maintain a healthy balance of self-care, thus refueling. In this experiential workshop, we will practice and directly experience the powerful benefits of these three interventions. These practices can be incorporated into everyday routines and serve as a recharge between client sessions.

Veteran Suicide Risk Throughout the Life Span Nikole S. Jones, LCSW-C, Suicide Prevention Coordinator, U.S. Dept. of Veteran AffairsAccording to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 20 veterans die as a result of suicide each day. The VA created programs across the country to bring awareness to this issue, and provide enhanced care to at-risk veterans. This break-out session will address the risk factors and warning signs of suicide risk, as well as the protective factors, and stigma that is often a barrier to seeking help. The participants will be able to identify resources available to veterans for support and crisis intervention.

Working with LGBTQ Substance UsersJosh Riley, MS, LPC, NCC, Director of Community Commitment at Whitman-Walker HealthThis session will explore the dynamics of substance use in the LGBTQ community including sex and gender diversity basics, data from several studies, and clinical considerations when working with this population. The session will also highlight methamphetamine use among gay and bisexual men and the need for sex-positive, harm reduction-focused interventions.

The Natural History of Fatal Drug Overdose Gerald Marti, MD, PhD, Physician scientist (hematologist) who spent the last 30+ years in the US PHS at the NIH and FDA studying hematological malignancy.Erin Haas, MPH, Local Programs Manager, Overdose Prevention, Maryland DHMH/ Behavioral Health AdministrationRay Armillei, LCSW-CLCADC and Elaine Barclay, CSC-AD, Harford & Cecil CountiesMelissa Bartles, Behavioral Health, Washington Co.; Alan Trachtenberg, MD, MPH, Former Chair, Montgomery Co. (MD) Alcohol & Other Drug Abuse Advisory Council (AODAAC)Dr. Marti will moderate a panel of experts discussing the observed patterns of fatal drug overdose in four Maryland locations: Hagerstown, Bethesda, Harford and Cecil Counties. Erin Haas will provide an overview of the program and outcomes to date. The goal of this workshop will be to examine the different jurisdictional team approaches to Overdose Fatality Review and share results. The goal will also be to describe an average narrative case report and define where an intervention might have spared a life. The idea is to use the information that is being collected to ascertain the current natural history of fatal overdose in Maryland and how does the current pattern(s) compare with the published literature?

Safe Consumption Rooms: Something to Consider in Maryland Chris Welsh, MD, Addiction Psychiatrist, Faculty Member, UMD School of Medicine, Dept. of PsychiatryNatanya Robinowitz, MSPH, Harm Reduction at Behavioral Health System BaltimoreSusan Sherman, MPH, PhD, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public HealthMaryland is in the midst of a significant heroin and prescription opioid epidemic. Although great strides have been made in combating this issue, the current epidemic continues to grow with increasing numbers of opioid users, fatal and non-fatal overdoses, and other medical problems related to unsafe injection practices. One alternative evidence-based strategy to help address the issue are Safe Consumption Rooms (SCR). Currently, more than 100 such facilities exist in Canada, Australia and various European countries. They are typically designed to reach marginalized individuals who inject drugs and are less likely to seek out medical and social services through more “traditional” venues. SCRs can offer a less threatening venue through which they can begin to get low level services and gradually engage in more robust treatment. The workshop will present a history of SCRs and a review of their effects on public health.

Thriving in the New Fee-for-Service WorldKim Erskine, MS, Owner, Medical Billing Services Mark Santangelo, JD, President/CEO of Kolmac Outpatient Recovery Centers As grant funding is reduced in the manner in which providers are paid, many practices find themselves entering uncharted territory. Practices need to rely more and more on fee-for-service revenue to keep them afloat. This workshop will walk you through the “ins and outs” of behavioral health billing. Pitfalls and best practices will be discussed. Behavioral health specific codes ICD-10, and HCPC will be highlighted. The program will also illustrate ways to maximize your financial results in this new world while maintaining outstanding clinical outcomes.

Treating Employees in Safety Sensitive Occupations / What do you mean I tested positive? Steve Garnham, MEd, LEAP, LAP-C, Owner, Comprehensive Workplace Training, Garnham LLC Federal regulations govern a significant portion of the workforce including D.O.T. covered employees as well as designated “safety sensitive” occupations. Those who treat these employees after they are found to have a drug or alcohol violation sometimes don’t realize the implications of the applicable regulations. The roles of EAP, SAP and treatment professionals will be discussed to provide clean and simple guidance.

Initiated in 2001 by the Employee Assistance Professionals Association, (EAPA), Chesapeake Chapter, the Phil McKenna Institute (PMI) was established to honor the memory of Mr. McKenna by bringing awareness and training to professionals who address the needs of employees and their families.
