SUMMARY:PDS1444: Through a Trauma Informed Lens: Rethinking Addiction Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Providers of substance abuse treatment recognize that most clients have trauma histories that complicate treatment and compromise recovery. Kaiser Permanente’s Adverse Childhood Experiences study has officially established the link between traumatic childhood experiences and the risk of developing addictions. Therefore\, providing trauma-informed substance abuse treatment is imperative; and this requires a paradigm shift in how we think about addiction and how we interpret and respond to the behaviors commonly seen in individuals with substance use disorders. This session will define and describe a trauma informed approach to addiction treatment and will assist clinicians in creating trauma-sensitive environments and providing effective trauma-focused interventions. Participants will be guided in a critical examination of current addiction treatment models through a trauma lens and be informed as to how to make the changes necessary in their practice to provide trauma-informed addiction treatment that will improve treatment outcomes.\nInstructor: Debra Rusiard\, DSW\, LCSW\nCE Credits: 6 clinical

SUMMARY:Dr. Antonio Morgan-Lopez
DESCRIPTION:Project Harmony is an NIAAA-funded project that uses Integrative Data Analysis (IDA)\, meta-analysis of individual patient data (MIPD) and propensity score weighting to assess variation in treatment effect sizes across (up to ) 50 RCTs geared towards treating comorbid PTSD and AOD (Alcohol and Other Drug) disorders. In this colloquium\, we explore critical issues in the conduct and execution of an IDA study focused on treatment outcomes. We then give an overview of a series of papers developed in the first 18 months of the project that center around the use of item response theory (IRT) analysis as a method of incorporating “symptom weighting” in the scaling of PTSD severity using data from the NIDA CTN Women and Trauma study. Finally\, we introduce the concept of the “Platinum Standard” for PTSD nosology and explore initial findings from an IDA analysis of 7 studies that are a part of Project Harmony.

SUMMARY:Dr. Mateo Leganes-Fonteneau
DESCRIPTION:In this seminar Dr. Leganes-Fonteneau will present some of the research he has been conducting over the past year and a half at the Center of Alcohol & Substance Use Studies. His research focuses on interoception\, the perception of bodily sensations\, shapes cognitive and addictive processes.\nDr. Leganes-Fonteneau will discuss novel findings on the relationship between cardiac physiology and alcohol cognitive biases\, explaining how alcohol administration generates bodily states that can guide drug related behaviors. He will also present preliminary data on the effects of alcohol administration on cardiac interoceptive awareness\, the perception of one’s own heartbeat\, and how these changes shape alcohol attentional biases. Dr. Leganes-Fonteneau will also discuss preliminary data of an experimental study aimed at increasing cardiac interoceptive awareness through a biofeedback breathing task and discuss the possible .\nFinally\, Dr. Leganes-Fonteneau will present the results of a novel emotional visual search task with which we study the effects of cardiac signals on emotional detection\, expanding on how these results broaden our understanding of the interoceptive mechanisms supporting emotional processing and how they can be translated to the study of addiction and other mental health disorders.WEBEX Meeting number: 792 176 732Password: fjPPVU4M83Phttps://rutgers.webex.com/rutgers/j.php?MTID=mdde12f864a92b03b6b81e42eb67aa1d0

SUMMARY:Trauma & Addictions Conference
DESCRIPTION:On October 8\, 2021 the second biennial Trauma & Addictions Conference – Myths of Trauma Treatment: How to Work with Clients Experiencing Trauma was held virtually.  CAS was honored to host our keynote speaker\, Dr. Sonya Norman\, Director\, PTSD Consultation Program at the VA National Center for PTSD and Professor in the Psychiatry Department at the University of California\, San Diego. Her presentation on “Treating Comorbid Substance Use Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” provided insight into current evidence-based treatments\, including potential mechanisms by which they work\, and promising future directions to more effectively treat this common and impairing comorbidity. Dr. Norman provided a comprehensive review of the available treatments and resources that are available to both clinicians and clients. \nThe conference was comprised of a morning speaker\, afternoon panel discussion and workshops. Dr. Debra Ruisard\, psychotherapist and consultant for trauma informed care\, discussed\, “Bottom Up and Top Down: Integrated Treated for Trauma and Addiction”.  An integrated trauma-informed model of addiction treatment combining bottom-up and top-down strategies to treat trauma and addiction more effectively. Dr. Ruisard reviewed polyvagal theory and body-based intervention strategies. \nThe afternoon panel\, “The Intersection of Intimate Partner Violence with Trauma and Substance use”\, featured researchers from around the US offering their research and clinical expertise regarding best practices as it relates to the complex intersection of intimate partner violence (IPV) with trauma and substance use. To wrap up the day participants had a choice of workshops\, including “Demystifying Substance Abuse and Trauma Treatment: Reducing Ambivalence to Support Optimal Client Care and Treatment Outcomes” and “Healing from Trauma and Addiction: Lessons Learned for the COVID-19 Pandemic Show the Posttraumatic Growth is Real and Not a Myth”. \nThis was the 2nd Trauma & Addiction conference and the 1st held virtually\, overall participants reported having a positive experience. Some comments included\,” I enjoyed these courses and all the presenters. I’ve attended numerous trauma trainings and by far this one was the most valuable.”; “Presenters were great. Enjoyed their style and the positivity of this session.”; and “Excellent\, organized and comprehensive”. \nWe understand that co-occurring trauma and substance use come with a set of unique and complex challenges\, supporting a need for trainings specific to those needs for clinicians. We are committed to providing the most current\, cutting-edge and evidence-based programming to address these training needs.  Be on the lookout for the next Trauma & Addiction conference in April 2023.

SUMMARY:Harm Reduction Conference
DESCRIPTION:For more information and registration: CLICK HERE\n  \n \nOn May 19th & 20th\, Dr. Andrew Tatarsky will speak about Integrated Harm Reduction Psychotherapy. Make sure you’re one of the 55 people who can hear him. \nDr. Andrew Tatarsky is the pioneer of the Integrative Harm Reduction Psychotherapy (IHRP) approach for treating addictive and risky behavior\, trauma and other mental health issues. \nDuring this 2-day intermediate level workshop\, attendees will learn how Dr Tatarsky’s psychobiosocial model demystifies problematic drug use; utilizes an integrative harm reduction approach; and provides a road map to help clients maximize the benefits\, and minimize the risks\, in creating an optimal relationship to substance use. \nThis intensive training session will delve into the current scientific revolution in addiction treatment. Exploring the benefits of moving away from the disease model toward a psychobiosocial process model for understanding addiction and shifting treatment from the traditional abstinence-only approach to an integrative harm reduction method. \nParticipants will also learn the Seven Therapeutic Tasks of IHRP along with specific skills to facilitate positive change\, including empathic listening\, mindfulness\, urge-surfing\, microanalysis\, embracing ambivalence\, and decisional balance. \nDay One\, Thursday\, May 19: Topics include the origins and core principles of the harm reduction model—its psychobiosocial framework and how it informs fundamentals for conceptualizing\, assessing and treating substance misuse and other risky behaviors. This model demystifies problematic drug use with an integrative harm reduction approach that provides a road map for helping clients maximize the benefits and minimize the risks in creating an optimal relationship to substance use.  \nDay Two\, Friday\, May 20: Participants will learn the Seven Therapeutic Tasks of IHRP along with specific skills to facilitate positive change including empathic listening\, mindfulness\, urge-surfing\, microanalysis\, embracing ambivalence and decisional balance. Participants will be taught to identify the Seven Therapeutic Tasks and their meanings and engagement\, and collaboration skills will be taught utilizing role play. Case study examples will be provided\, followed by time for reflective questions and concluding takeaways. \n10 Continuing Education credits will be earned by Social Workers\, Professional Counselors\, Psychologists and Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselors who attend. \nOnly 55 seats are available. Don’t miss your chance to be sitting in one of them. \nThis is a rare opportunity to attend a workshop held by Dr. Andrew Tatarsky\, the pioneer of IHRP. So\, we expect it to sell out quickly.

SUMMARY:Cross-Cultural Communication for Addiction Professionals
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Regina Ford\, MA \nEvery community\, population\, and group has its own culture\, but how is culture understood when it is mainly comprised of unwritten rules? Culture is more than age\, race\, gender\, and socioeconomic status. However\, it can be difficult to assess the way culture shapes the identity of self and the way identity guides how we serve others. How does cultural competence differ from cultural sensitivity? And where does cultural awareness come into play? Participants will be able to list the components that constitute culture: norms\, values\, language\, artifacts\, technology\, and symbols. Participants will be guided in critiquing their self-identified culture. The impact of implicit bias on professionalism will be discussed. Participants will be able to state the difference between cultural competence\, cultural awareness\, cultural sensitivity\, and cultural humility. Participants will demonstrate the differences in approach to those in positions of power\, while illustrating skills needed to build trustful relationships. Participants will construct effective strategies for communication that addresses potential barriers and builds relationships of trust. \nCE Credits: 6 Cultural

SUMMARY:Pathways to Recovery from Alcohol Use Disorder
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Katie Witkiewitz\, PhD \n \nThe event is on Thursday\, November 17 from 12:30-1:50pm EST via Zoom (link below). \nOn day of event click on link to join meeting: https://ccny.zoom.us/j/86143686922 \nAbstract: Abstinence from alcohol is often viewed as the most desirable and ideal outcome for individuals with alcohol use disorder. Yet\, most individuals with alcohol use disorder do not want to abstain from drinking and do not seek treatment. Over the past 20 years\, there have been several significant methodological advances in studying patterns and predictors of alcohol use and drinking reductions\, yet most of the work has not had a major influence on clinical practice. The current talk will provide a broad overview of this literature and present new data on the validity of World Health Organization drinking risk levels as a harm reduction endpoint. Results from several recent studies provide evidence that reductions in World Health Organization drinking risk levels are a viable alternative to abstinence as a public health and harm reduction strategy and as an endpoint for alcohol clinical trials. The talk will also highlight new perspectives and new empirical data examining non-abstinent recovery from alcohol use disorder.
