Conversation Hour: Insights from
Addiction Treatment Pioneer
David E. Smith, MD 	
David Smith, MD, FASAM, FISAM, FAACT
David E. Smith, MD, FASAM, has been at the
forefront of addiction treatment for the past 60
years. In 1967, he founded the famous Haight
Ashbury Free Medical Clinic in San Francisco
during the Summer of Love, with funding initially
provided by benefit concerts he organized with
groups such as Creedence Clearwater Revival.
He has since become a national leader in the
treatment of addictive disease, the psychopharmacology of drugs, new research strategies in
the management of drug abuse problems, and
appropriate prescribing practices for physicians.
He has served on federal, state, and local bodies
addressing substance use, abuse, and treatment,
and has received numerous awards. He lectures
extensively and is the author/co-author of more
than 360 professional articles and books.
Dr. Smith is especially known for his connection
with patients and professionals, his compassion,
calm demeanor, and willingness to challenge the
field and our nation to always strive to do more
to improve the lives of those struggling with
addiction. The National Conference on Addiction Disorders has invited Dr. Smith to reflect on
where the field has been, share his perspectives
on our current challenges and opportunities, and
consider where we're headed in a moderated
discussion certain to be insightful, educational,
and inspirational.

Establishing and Maintaining a
Successful Youth and Young Adult 	
Recovery Support Network	
Judith Stonger, MA, CPS
Shayn Ember
Youth and young adult recovery supports have
traditionally lagged behind these services for
adults. Many states lack a coordinated recovery
support network for this population. This session
will provide practical information on how to
establish and maintain a network for the best
possible recovery outcomes for young people.

Integrating Substance Use
Outpatient Withdrawal
Management Effectively
With Rehabilitation
George Kolodner, MD
Substance use withdrawal management presents
an excellent opportunity for engaging patients
in an ongoing, effective recovery program. The
likelihood of follow through is increased when
rehabilitation begins simultaneously with the
provision of withdrawal services rather than sequentially. This simultaneous timing is even more
feasible when withdrawal management is provided on an outpatient basis. While this treatment
strategy has been in place for decades, there are
now recently updated medication protocols that
have expanded the range of conditions that can
be managed in this setting.

Ethical Considerations Using
Family-Centered System of Care 	
Approach in Substance Use
Disorder Treatment Settings
Carmen Finn, MA, LADC, ADCR-MN
Sadie Hosley, MA, LADC, LPCC
Most behavioral health treatment focuses on the
individual; however, we know that individuals will
return to their support system once treatment
has been completed. This session provides
needed information about how to adopt an innovative approach to incorporate the whole family
in the treatment experience.

From Mentee to Mentor:
Emerging into Business
Development Leadership
Molly Ashcroft, CADC
Carrie Hunnicutt, BA, MA
With the ever-changing landscape of behavioral
health, the need for strong mentorship is more
apparent now than it ever has been. Learning
how to utilize a mentor and become a mentor
will be the crux of improving the behavioral
health marketing landscape as a whole. Having
unbiased support outside of an individual's
organization can help increase accountability
and productivity, and it can provide internal
ethical compass to become a leading expert in
the business development space.

You Can't Shut Down Trauma:
Blending Tradition and Innovation
for a 21st Century World	
Jamie Marich, PhD, LPCC-S, LICDC-CS,
REAT, RYT-200
"We're not set up to deal with trauma," or
"You've got to shut down trauma if patients
want to go too far with it" is said too often in our
treatment centers. In this presentation, author,
education, and trauma specialist Dr. Jamie
Marich explains how this mentality keeps people
stuck in a rut of endless suffering. Known for her
uncanny ability to blend the value of what we've
learned from tradition and where we need to
progress in response to innovation, Marich will
use the lens of trauma-focused care to explain
what still works about traditional approaches like
12-step facilitation and cognitive therapy.
She demystifies what it means for addiction care
to be more trauma-focused, offering participants
hope for more effectively working with trauma
regardless of the setting in which they serve. A
major part of the paradigm shift to trauma-focused care must include greater attention to
inclusivity. Dr. Marich speaks to the imperative of
being more culturally attuned and receptive of all
chosen avenues available for recovery, including
harm reduction and medically assisted treatment
(MAT). Marich, a yoga teacher, expressive artist,
and a woman in long-term recovery, will also integrate several practical exercises for professionals
into this call to action.

Addiction in the 21st Century:
Screen Addiction - Alteration
of Social, Biological, and
Neurophysiological Processes
in Screen-Based Content and
Process Addictions	
Mari Swingle, PhD, LMHC
Screen-Based Addiction (formerly Internet
Addiction) is one of the most misunderstood
and complex emergent addictions. This talk
will go far beyond the questions of "is it real?"
exploring the biological/neurophysiological
bases of excessive, non-complementary use/
abuse, and addiction to (and through) interactive
screens. The session will present a three-tiered
system of classification: content addiction (eg,
pornography), process addiction (eg, communication/texting), combined (eg, gaming), and
compounding crossover.

Doubling Down on Peer Support:
An Opioid Treatment Program's 	
Approach to Utilizing Peer
Support in Community-Based
Services
Michael White, MCJ
As companies and agencies continue to learn
new and innovative ways to engage new clients,
peer support community-based services have
demonstrated themselves to be an effective way
to interact with people who might be ready to
enter treatment. Research has complemented
this claim by placing a strong emphasis on the
relationship of the staff and client for individuals
continuing to be engaged in treatment. Specialists can connect with individuals struggling on a
personal level that provides hope and opportunity to change their current predicament.
Often times within these community-based
programs, peers are meeting with people that
just experienced an overdose, are experiencing
a health issue related to their use, have had
children removed from their home, are being
released from incarceration, find out they are
pregnant, or live in a community that is scarce in
resources. These peers provide a direct link to
treatment and your agency. Workshop attendees
will be provided a working knowledge of multiple projects from around the country and how
they can implement these programs.

Multiple Pathways to Recovery
E. Vaughan Gilmore, LCSW, LCDC
Many treatment programs and addiction professionals continue to offer one traditional pathway
to recovery for their clients; however, research
shows that individuals are able to recover from
substance use disorders along multiple pathways.

The Micro-Outcome is the
Outcome
Tom Meier, DBA, MBA
The goal of this session is to encourage reframing of the definition of "outcomes" in chronic
disease care. Historically, behavioral health
outcomes have been framed using time intervals
defined by a solar/lunar/financial calendar. These
are macro-outcomes. Since many behavioral
health conditions are chronic, imposing this type
of calendar framework on client improvement
is not patient-centric. An alternate approach to
defining outcomes, more consonant with the
American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM)
criteria and continuum of care, acknowledges
each increment of progress made by a patient
towards sustainable management of their
condition. These are micro-outcomes. After
attending this session, attendees will be able to
more appropriately match a chronic disease to a
time scale on which meaningful changes in the
symptoms of the disease can be expected.
