Meaningful Inclusion of People Who Use Drugs Guidance
Sponsor: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program
This LMS module introduces strategies for the ongoing, meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs. While we often hear people agree that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is important, there remains an even more critical need for pursuing and implementing that inclusion. One of the guiding messages of responding to the overdose crisis is to honor the principle of “nothing about us without us”—in this case, people who use drugs. Until this is adopted across the board, our overdose response will be less successful. We can’t successfully respond to any public health crisis without involving those we are trying to reach and those that are most affected. In this guidance module, participants will learn ways to:
- Describe the well-established consensus that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is absolutely critical to any successful public health response to addressing overdose deaths.
- Explain what the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs means as a practice and who it involves.
- Offer various starting points and tools, including explaining what is involved in engagement, early infrastructure, and employment.

Contingency Management Provider Training
Sponsor: UVM Center on Rural Addiction
To receive CME credit for this video, please complete the interactive version within the UVM CME portal. For instructions on how to complete this process, please visit: https://go.uvm.edu/cmhowto
Use of cocaine and methamphetamine is rising across the country resulting in a wave of overdose deaths that is truly alarming. The ability to help people with issues around cocaine and stimulant use is hampered by the limited number of treatments available. For example, there is no medication available to treat these issues. However, there are behavioral treatments that are effective, including contingency management (CM), where people can earn incentives for healthy behavior change. In fact, looking across all the available treatment options, CM has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective. Our faculty at UVM CORA have worked to develop educational resources for treatment providers, policymakers, health departments, health services, and clinicians in how to use CM. We have developed a brief video to highlight: –Why providers should consider CM with their patients who struggle with substance use –The evidence that supports the use of CM –The most important steps and considerations for using CM and resources available through UVM CORA to help support these efforts.

NASW-NYS: Adolescents and Addiction: Trends, Treatment Approaches, and Developmental Considerations
Sponsor: Social Worker Online CE Institute
Self-study
Adolescence is a time of constant and significant change. In fact, most people will never experience a more dramatic change than when in their adolescence. So, what’s changing? Everything! Adolescents are simultaneously experiencing biological, psychological, social, and role changes, meaning that their bodies, brains, emotions, relationships, and everything in between are in a state of flux and growth. Substance use during adolescence further complicates – and even disrupts – this process. Youth and young adults who engage in substance misuse or suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) face additional challenges that impact their ability to successfully navigate their journey into adulthood, but social workers can be a mitigating factor for these young people. This training will provide an overview of addiction in adolescents, including information on current data and trends, co-occurring disorders, trauma, the developing brain, and effective treatment approaches.
Faculty: Samantha Kawola
Samantha Kawola, LMSW, is an LMSW charged with coordinating adolescent substance use services at the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). In 7 years with OASAS’ Bureau Adolescent, Women, and Family Services, she has been a key contributor to policy and program development and enactment, including writing and implementing clinical standards and guidance, establishing and overseeing recovery services for youth statewide (e.g., Youth Clubhouses, collegiate recovery programs, recovery high schools), and implementing EBPs statewide.

Bridging the Gap: Advancing a Diverse and Resilient Workforce for SUD Treatment
Sponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the College for Behavioral Health Leadership
The substance use disorder (SUD) treatment landscape is facing an unprecedented workforce crisis. Recent data from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) predicts the demand for addiction counselors will increase by 62%, while the supply of addiction counselors is expected to decrease by 13%. The stark reality is that current workforce capacity can only support approximately half of those seeking recovery services—a gap that demands immediate, innovative solutions.
Addressing the SUD crisis requires a robust and ready workforce that is not only skilled but also reflects the diversity of the communities they serve. This Workforce Solutions Jam focused on actionable strategies to recruit, train, and retain a workforce capable of meeting the unique needs of individuals affected by substance use.

From Big Pharma to Recovery – The Intersection of the Opioid Epidemic and the Criminal Legal System
Sponsor: From Big Pharma to Recovery – The Intersection of the Opioid Epidemic and the Criminal Legal System
The Opioid Response Network (ORN) has launched a new podcast, MOUD in Corrections, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the opioid epidemic, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and justice-involved individuals.
In the U.S., more than 1.5 million arrests are made for drug violations annually and 1 in 5 people are incarcerated because of a drug related offense. However, in recent years the justice system has started to change its approach to incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder to be more consistent with those having other chronic relapsing diseases. The podcast series, developed by the Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network, explores this shift, highlights the critical and evolving role the justice system plays in addressing the opioid epidemic and emphasizes the importance of understanding that a substance use disorder is a disease of the brain.

Use of cocaine and methamphetamine is rising across the country resulting in a wave of overdose deaths that is truly alarming. The ability to help people with issues around cocaine and stimulant use is hampered by the limited number of treatments available. For example, there is no medication available to treat these issues. However, there are behavioral treatments that are effective, including contingency management (CM), where people can earn incentives for healthy behavior change. In fact, looking across all the available treatment options, CM has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective. Our faculty at UVM CORA have worked to develop educational resources for treatment providers, policymakers, health departments, health services, and clinicians in how to use CM. We have developed a brief video to highlight: –Why providers should consider CM with their patients who struggle with substance use –The evidence that supports the use of CM –The most important steps and considerations for using CM and resources available through UVM CORA to help support these efforts.

NASW-NYS: Adolescents and Addiction: Trends, Treatment Approaches, and Developmental Considerations
Sponsor: Social Worker Online CE Institute
Self-study
Adolescence is a time of constant and significant change. In fact, most people will never experience a more dramatic change than when in their adolescence. So, what’s changing? Everything! Adolescents are simultaneously experiencing biological, psychological, social, and role changes, meaning that their bodies, brains, emotions, relationships, and everything in between are in a state of flux and growth. Substance use during adolescence further complicates – and even disrupts – this process. Youth and young adults who engage in substance misuse or suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) face additional challenges that impact their ability to successfully navigate their journey into adulthood, but social workers can be a mitigating factor for these young people. This training will provide an overview of addiction in adolescents, including information on current data and trends, co-occurring disorders, trauma, the developing brain, and effective treatment approaches.
Faculty: Samantha Kawola
Samantha Kawola, LMSW, is an LMSW charged with coordinating adolescent substance use services at the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). In 7 years with OASAS’ Bureau Adolescent, Women, and Family Services, she has been a key contributor to policy and program development and enactment, including writing and implementing clinical standards and guidance, establishing and overseeing recovery services for youth statewide (e.g., Youth Clubhouses, collegiate recovery programs, recovery high schools), and implementing EBPs statewide. In addition, she sits on the Governor’s LGBT Task Force and is one of the agency’s subject matter experts in LGBTQ matters. Sam earned B.A. in Psychology from Siena College in 2014 and her MSW from Fordham University in 2017, the latter of which afforded her the opportunity to gain clinical experience in a residential substance use treatment facility for adolescents.

Meaningful Inclusion of People Who Use Drugs Guidance
Sponsor: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program
This LMS module introduces strategies for the ongoing, meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs. While we often hear people agree that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is important, there remains an even more critical need for pursuing and implementing that inclusion. One of the guiding messages of responding to the overdose crisis is to honor the principle of “nothing about us without us”—in this case, people who use drugs. Until this is adopted across the board, our overdose response will be less successful. We can’t successfully respond to any public health crisis without involving those we are trying to reach and those that are most affected. In this guidance module, participants will learn ways to:
- Describe the well-established consensus that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is absolutely critical to any successful public health response to addressing overdose deaths.
- Explain what the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs means as a practice and who it involves.
- Offer various starting points and tools, including explaining what is involved in engagement, early infrastructure, and employment.

Bridging the Gap: Advancing a Diverse and Resilient Workforce for SUD Treatment
Sponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the College for Behavioral Health Leadership
The substance use disorder (SUD) treatment landscape is facing an unprecedented workforce crisis. Recent data from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) predicts the demand for addiction counselors will increase by 62%, while the supply of addiction counselors is expected to decrease by 13%. The stark reality is that current workforce capacity can only support approximately half of those seeking recovery services—a gap that demands immediate, innovative solutions.
Addressing the SUD crisis requires a robust and ready workforce that is not only skilled but also reflects the diversity of the communities they serve. This Workforce Solutions Jam focused on actionable strategies to recruit, train, and retain a workforce capable of meeting the unique needs of individuals affected by substance use.

Identifying and Addressing Behavioral Health Needs in Encampments
Sponsor: Homeless and Housing Resource Center
People experiencing homelessness experience higher rates of behavioral health conditions, and many symptoms can be caused or exacerbated by their living situations. As communities across the country change how they respond to and interact with encampments, outreach workers, community health workers, and peers continue to be essential team members who foster relationships and trust with encampment residents. These front-line professionals are often first to notice the onset or changes in behavioral health symptoms and serve as trusted individuals who can help support a person across a spectrum of behavioral health needs. This webinar will discuss core principles and engagement techniques for providers to serve as a bridge to care for mental health, substance use, and medical needs. Participants will hear from community health workers and be able to ask questions before and during the session.

From Big Pharma to Recovery – The Intersection of the Opioid Epidemic and the Criminal Legal System
Sponsor: From Big Pharma to Recovery – The Intersection of the Opioid Epidemic and the Criminal Legal System
The Opioid Response Network (ORN) has launched a new podcast, MOUD in Corrections, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the opioid epidemic, medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) and justice-involved individuals.
In the U.S., more than 1.5 million arrests are made for drug violations annually and 1 in 5 people are incarcerated because of a drug related offense. However, in recent years the justice system has started to change its approach to incarcerated individuals with opioid use disorder to be more consistent with those having other chronic relapsing diseases. The podcast series, developed by the Addiction Technology Transfer Center Network, explores this shift, highlights the critical and evolving role the justice system plays in addressing the opioid epidemic and emphasizes the importance of understanding that a substance use disorder is a disease of the brain.

Use of cocaine and methamphetamine is rising across the country resulting in a wave of overdose deaths that is truly alarming. The ability to help people with issues around cocaine and stimulant use is hampered by the limited number of treatments available. For example, there is no medication available to treat these issues. However, there are behavioral treatments that are effective, including contingency management (CM), where people can earn incentives for healthy behavior change. In fact, looking across all the available treatment options, CM has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective. Our faculty at UVM CORA have worked to develop educational resources for treatment providers, policymakers, health departments, health services, and clinicians in how to use CM. We have developed a brief video to highlight: –Why providers should consider CM with their patients who struggle with substance use –The evidence that supports the use of CM –The most important steps and considerations for using CM and resources available through UVM CORA to help support these efforts.

NASW-NYS: Adolescents and Addiction: Trends, Treatment Approaches, and Developmental Considerations
Sponsor: Social Worker Online CE Institute
Self-study
Adolescence is a time of constant and significant change. In fact, most people will never experience a more dramatic change than when in their adolescence. So, what’s changing? Everything! Adolescents are simultaneously experiencing biological, psychological, social, and role changes, meaning that their bodies, brains, emotions, relationships, and everything in between are in a state of flux and growth. Substance use during adolescence further complicates – and even disrupts – this process. Youth and young adults who engage in substance misuse or suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) face additional challenges that impact their ability to successfully navigate their journey into adulthood, but social workers can be a mitigating factor for these young people. This training will provide an overview of addiction in adolescents, including information on current data and trends, co-occurring disorders, trauma, the developing brain, and effective treatment approaches.
Faculty: Samantha Kawola
Samantha Kawola, LMSW, is an LMSW charged with coordinating adolescent substance use services at the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS).

ED-Initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder
Sponsor: The Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP)
This self-paced webinar focuses on the crucial role of the emergency department (ED) in recognizing and treating opioid use disorder (OUD) patients with evidence-based medications for addiction treatment. Gail D’Onofrio, MD, discusses her pioneering work in creating the evidence for initiating ED buprenorphine treatment with ED patients presenting with opioid use disorder. Overall, the opioid epidemic intertwined with the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly escalated the need to mitigate the morbidity and mortality associated with the rising rate of fentanyl use. Data supporting the use of buprenorphine in the ED setting as well as the consequences of not initiating treatment were discussed. While the use of ED prescribed buprenorphine has increased, universal adoption has lagged. Barriers to implementation of ED buprenorphine were discussed as well as strategies to overcome these challenges. Components of successful integration of an ED program with community partnerships were outlined. Current research by emergency physicians regarding innovative strategies such as high-dose buprenorphine inductions and use of extended release 7-day formulation of buprenorphine were discussed. Initiation buprenorphine effectively, reduces withdrawal symptoms, improves adherence to treatment, and saves lives.

Meaningful Inclusion of People Who Use Drugs Guidance
Sponsor: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program
This LMS module introduces strategies for the ongoing, meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs. While we often hear people agree that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is important, there remains an even more critical need for pursuing and implementing that inclusion. One of the guiding messages of responding to the overdose crisis is to honor the principle of “nothing about us without us”—in this case, people who use drugs. Until this is adopted across the board, our overdose response will be less successful. We can’t successfully respond to any public health crisis without involving those we are trying to reach and those that are most affected. In this guidance module, participants will learn ways to:
- Describe the well-established consensus that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is absolutely critical to any successful public health response to addressing overdose deaths.
- Explain what the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs means as a practice and who it involves.
- Offer various starting points and tools, including explaining what is involved in engagement, early infrastructure, and employment.

Use of cocaine and methamphetamine is rising across the country resulting in a wave of overdose deaths that is truly alarming. The ability to help people with issues around cocaine and stimulant use is hampered by the limited number of treatments available. For example, there is no medication available to treat these issues. However, there are behavioral treatments that are effective, including contingency management (CM), where people can earn incentives for healthy behavior change. In fact, looking across all the available treatment options, CM has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective. Our faculty at UVM CORA have worked to develop educational resources for treatment providers, policymakers, health departments, health services, and clinicians in how to use CM. We have developed a brief video to highlight: –Why providers should consider CM with their patients who struggle with substance use –The evidence that supports the use of CM –The most important steps and considerations for using CM and resources available through UVM CORA to help support these efforts.

NASW-NYS: Adolescents and Addiction: Trends, Treatment Approaches, and Developmental Considerations
Sponsor: Social Worker Online CE Institute
Self-study
Adolescence is a time of constant and significant change. In fact, most people will never experience a more dramatic change than when in their adolescence. So, what’s changing? Everything! Adolescents are simultaneously experiencing biological, psychological, social, and role changes, meaning that their bodies, brains, emotions, relationships, and everything in between are in a state of flux and growth. Substance use during adolescence further complicates – and even disrupts – this process. Youth and young adults who engage in substance misuse or suffer from a substance use disorder (SUD) face additional challenges that impact their ability to successfully navigate their journey into adulthood, but social workers can be a mitigating factor for these young people. This training will provide an overview of addiction in adolescents, including information on current data and trends, co-occurring disorders, trauma, the developing brain, and effective treatment approaches.
Faculty: Samantha Kawola
Samantha Kawola, LMSW, is an LMSW charged with coordinating adolescent substance use services at the NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). In 7 years with OASAS’ Bureau Adolescent, Women, and Family Services, she has been a key contributor to policy and program development and enactment, including writing and implementing clinical standards and guidance, establishing and overseeing recovery services for youth statewide (e.g., Youth Clubhouses, collegiate recovery programs, recovery high schools), and implementing EBPs statewide.

Use of cocaine and methamphetamine is rising across the country resulting in a wave of overdose deaths that is truly alarming. The ability to help people with issues around cocaine and stimulant use is hampered by the limited number of treatments available. For example, there is no medication available to treat these issues. However, there are behavioral treatments that are effective, including contingency management (CM), where people can earn incentives for healthy behavior change. In fact, looking across all the available treatment options, CM has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective. Our faculty at UVM CORA have worked to develop educational resources for treatment providers, policymakers, health departments, health services, and clinicians in how to use CM. We have developed a brief video to highlight: –Why providers should consider CM with their patients who struggle with substance use –The evidence that supports the use of CM –The most important steps and considerations for using CM and resources available through UVM CORA to help support these efforts.

Meaningful Inclusion of People Who Use Drugs Guidance
Sponsor: Rural Communities Opioid Response Program
This LMS module introduces strategies for the ongoing, meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs. While we often hear people agree that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is important, there remains an even more critical need for pursuing and implementing that inclusion. One of the guiding messages of responding to the overdose crisis is to honor the principle of “nothing about us without us”—in this case, people who use drugs. Until this is adopted across the board, our overdose response will be less successful. We can’t successfully respond to any public health crisis without involving those we are trying to reach and those that are most affected. In this guidance module, participants will learn ways to:
- Describe the well-established consensus that the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs is absolutely critical to any successful public health response to addressing overdose deaths.
- Explain what the meaningful inclusion of people who use drugs means as a practice and who it involves.
- Offer various starting points and tools, including explaining what is involved in engagement, early infrastructure, and employment.

Bridging the Gap: Advancing a Diverse and Resilient Workforce for SUD Treatment
Sponsor: National Council for Mental Wellbeing and the College for Behavioral Health Leadership
The substance use disorder (SUD) treatment landscape is facing an unprecedented workforce crisis. Recent data from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) predicts the demand for addiction counselors will increase by 62%, while the supply of addiction counselors is expected to decrease by 13%. The stark reality is that current workforce capacity can only support approximately half of those seeking recovery services—a gap that demands immediate, innovative solutions.
Addressing the SUD crisis requires a robust and ready workforce that is not only skilled but also reflects the diversity of the communities they serve. This Workforce Solutions Jam focused on actionable strategies to recruit, train, and retain a workforce capable of meeting the unique needs of individuals affected by substance use.
