Behavioral Interventions for Substance Use Disorders: Improving Outcomes

Format: Module
As we enhance our understanding of addiction medicine through research, we strive to improve the treatment outcomes for our patients. Substance Use Disorder (SUD) at its core is an effective combination treatment because although medication is extremely beneficial in the treatment of addictions, for many patients it is not sufficient to maintain recovery because it does not address the behavioral aspects of the disease of addiction. This module provides basic information on 4 Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) that effectively treat the behavioral aspects of the disease of addiction. This module includes examples of techniques that may be performed during medication management and/or longer counseling visits with patients.

Providing Comprehensive Care in Opioid Treatment Program: A Policy and Provider Perspective

Format: Webinar
The current opioid and drug overdose crisis continues to have a devastating impact on morbidity and mortality in the United States. With the rise in use of potent synthetic opioids like fentanyl in the drug supply, creating linkages to comprehensive substance use related services is critical. Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP) and the comprehensive care and services they provide play a vital role in addressing this need, yet challenges remain. Despite clear evidence of the benefits of OTP’s, access to OTPs in some parts of the country is limited; stigma related to the use of methadone remains a challenge. Yet in the face of these headwinds, many OTPs are providing comprehensive leading-edge services to address the opioid and drug overdose crisis.

Opioid Use Disorder Treatment: The Peer Support Perspective

Format: Video
The PAEA ORN-2 Clinical Sites Initiative uses multiple tools to engage PA educators, preceptors, and students about all facets of opioid use disorder (OUD) and substance use disorders (SUD). On July 12, Donna Murray, DMSc, MS, PA-C, clinical training project outreach director for ORN-2 and PAEA senior director of admissions, participated in an open and transparent conversation with Belinda Gillespie, CPSS, peer support specialist, recovery coach, and community health worker with the Mountain Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) in Asheville, North Carolina. July is National BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, so we asked Gillespie to offer her unique perspective as the only peer support of color in the MAHEC System. She was willing to share her story of “lived experience” with substance use disorder, six years and eight months in prison, and now supporting her “Peers” through their own journey of recovery. Belinda has faced her own roadblocks due to inequity with the system of care as it currently exists. However, she continues to strive for success through education, raising awareness, and helping others along their journey. The interview is both powerful and compelling and will provoke new thoughts about the humility and humanity of individuals with a history of OUD/SUD.
