SUMMARY:Overdose Deaths and Extreme Heat
DESCRIPTION:This is a free Zoom presentation (one hour) about drug overdose deaths that involve environmental heat in Arizona. This presentation is open to any interested community member\, and 1 social work CEU is available for attendees. \nThe presentation will discuss increases in heat-related overdose deaths in Arizona over the period of 2018-2023 and examine how often homelessness and methamphetamine use are reported in these deaths. The presentation will also integrate results from interviews with people who use drugs in Arizona regarding their experiences with heat and overdose risk. \nThis presentation will be given by Professor Raminta Daniulaityte from the Arizona State University (ASU) College of Health Solutions and Associate Professor Manuel Cano from the ASU School of Social Work.

SUMMARY:Contingency Management Overview Training
DESCRIPTION:Contingency management (CM) is one of the only evidence-based behavioral interventions shown to be effective in treating stimulant use disorder (StimUD). Contingency management provides monetary incentives (such as gift cards) for meeting treatment specific goals\, including stimulant non-use as measured by point-of-care urine drug tests (UDTs). Through the systematic application of positive reinforcement\, individuals are rewarded for positively changing stimulant-focused behavior. Substance use offers a powerful\, immediate reinforcement. Contingency management confronts this challenge by offering immediate financial awards that can help activate the brain’s reward system\, thus encouraging the replacement of stimulants with the non-drug incentive to achieve a dopamine release. This two-hour training workshop is designed to provide a broad overview of contingency management as a behavioral intervention for the treatment of StimUD. The topics presented throughout the workshop include: (1) the scope of stimulant use in Southern Nevada and beyond; effects of stimulants on the brain\, body\, and behavior; (3) the psychological and behavioral principles of CM; (4) four essential ingredients of a protocol-based CM Program; (5) positive\, encouraging elements of CM; (6) the research support for CM; and (7) strategies for planning for\, financing\, and implementing a structured CM Program. \nLearning Objectives:\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe at least three (3) patterns and trends regarding the scope of stimulant use in Southern Nevada and beyond.\nIdentify at least three (3) acute and three (3) chronic effects of psychostimulant drugs on the brain.\nSpecify at least three (3) key principles of operant conditioning.\nFormulate a list of the four (4) essential elements of an evidence-based protocol-driven Contingency Management Program to address stimulant use.\n\nContinuing Education Units: 1.5 CEU // This training is approved for continuing education by the boards listed here. \nCost: FREE \nPresented by: Thomas E. Freese\, PhD\, and Beth A. Rutkowski\, MPH\, UCLA Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs | Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center \n*This training opportunity is exclusively available to Clark County providers.   \n
