Over 80% of people with substance use disorders (SUDs), including opioid use disorder (OUD), smoke cigarettes. While smoking prevalence has decreased in the general population, it remains stubbornly high among people with opioid use disorder (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUDs). Evidence suggests that conventional smoking cessation treatments are not as successful for people with SUDs as they are in the general population. This training will present the most recent epidemiology on smoking and use of cessation aids among people with SUDs, summarize the state of the science concerning smoking cessation treatment in this population, and present new data from Nevada on a smoking harm minimization intervention using e-cigarettes.
This online video will provide a comprehensive review of privacy and confidentiality laws relevant to opioid treatment providers. The session will cover federal and Nevada regulations, including HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, with a focus on practical applications and compliance challenges. The presentation will also explore emerging issues related to artificial intelligence and telehealth in opioid treatment settings. Participants will gain a clear understanding of confidentiality requirements, reporting obligations, and best practices for protecting patient privacy.
This Listening Session addresses the stigma surrounding Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and its impact on People Who Use Drugs (PWUD) communities receiving treatment, and exploring ways of fostering recovery-friendly spaces in the workplace and community.
Approximately 96% of persons with an identified Gambling Disorder have another co-occurring behavioral health condition, and it is often the co-occurring condition that brings the person with problems related to gambling into treatment. Evidenced further suggests that only those with the most severe gambling disorder symptoms will ever seek treatment. Gambling Disorder is often a hidden addiction when it is not addressed in combination with other behavioral therapies. This training will explore evidenced based gambling screening tools that can be implemented into treatment to help identify potential harms to ongoing recovery from opioid use disorders.
Substance Use disorders in Older Adults is a growing problem not only in the United States, but throughout the developed world. This presentation will look at the prevalence of substance use among older people with an added focus on opioid epidemiology. It will also provide an overview for screening and identifying substance use within this population group. Additionally, a broad biopsychosocial framework and sociohistorical lens will be utilized to analyze risk factors and vulnerabilities for substance use among older people. The presentation will conclude with care considerations that integrate psychosocial aspects of well-being and reinforce the importance of psychotherapeutic interventions.
The association between chronic exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and opioid use disorder (OUD) across the lifespan is well-established, but ACEs are preventable. This video course will explore the evidence supporting upstream strategies that can prevent ACEs from happening in the first place as well as positive childhood experiences (PCEs) that can mitigate the harms of ACEs. Recent data sources that can be used to monitor ACEs and PCEs at the state-level to guide prevention and evaluation activities will also be explored.
