From Overdose to Engagement: Working with First Responders and Emergency Departments (1 CME)
Contains 4 Component(s), Medical Credits OfferedEarn 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ while learning how professionals in Indiana's Project POINT have been removing as many barriers as possible to help patients get the services they desire, as well as, getting and then, maintaining engagement in treatment, from this conference recording at The ASAM 49th Annual Conference (2018).
(1.0 CME) In this conference recording from the 2018 Annual Conference, you will learn about how emergency department (ED) visits for opioid overdose have increased dramatically over the last several years, mirroring trends in overdose related mortality (1). In Indianapolis alone, our ambulance service—Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services—responded to over 2,000 opioid overdoses in 2016 and are on track to outpace that in 2017. Many local public health and safety agencies have championed increased access to naloxone and participated in trainings making it more widely available and accepted by first responders and community members (2). In Indianapolis, we created project POINT to help link those surviving an opioid overdose with the highest quality emergency care including warm hand offs to on-going treatment. Methods: We convened a group of experts and key stakeholders in our hospital system/community and undertook a quality improvement process to improve the care of overdose survivors while in the ED and through their transition to longitudinal care. Results: We developed a set of core ED services and a plan to implement each of them. Core ED services included: 1) brief assessment by a specialty trained outreach team member (ideally a recovery coach), 2) rapid HIV/hepatitis C testing, 3) naloxone teaching and provision, 3) harm reduction counseling, 4) referral to appropriate next level of care and 5) rapid ED follow up focused on recovery support, increasing/supporting motivation and overcoming logistical barriers. We also created a network of providers who were willing and able to accept our referrals and worked with them to optimize the referral process.
Conclusions: With the growing opioid epidemic, EDs and EMS systems are looking for novel and effective ways to reduce mortality and help bridge patients into recovery. EDs and EMS systems are used to working at all hours, in austere conditions with complex and often critically ill patients. We offer an expansive and largely untapped network of providers which could be brought to bear on this epidemic. Project POINT is one example of how the ED can help drive incremental change—even in areas of the country where access to high quality MAT is limited.

Melissa Reyes, M.A., CRCMelissa Reyes completed her B.A. in Criminal Justice and Criminology at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. Following graduation, she worked as a case manager for the Madison Co. Problem Solving Courts for two years and was involved with both the Drug Court and Mental Health Court. In 2014, she then pursued her M.A. degree at Michigan State University in Rehabilitation Counseling. Melissa transitioned back to her home state of IN with the acceptance of a care coordinator position with Midtown Adult Addictions in Indianapolis, IN in September of 2016. The position was the forerunner of its kind for both organizations, and required constructing a unique collaboration between the community mental health center and Eskenazi Health ED; the area’s safety-net hospital. By January 2017, Melissa had accepted the role of Program Director for Project POINT (Planned Outreach,Intervention, Naloxone, and Treatment). Initially, POINT focused exclusively on providing referrals with warm handoffs, but Melissa expanded the scope and pursued a more holistic approach. This included promoting the start of implementing harm reduction counseling, rapid HIV/HCV testing as well as take home naloxone kits. In March of 2017, POINT expanded to include peer recovery coaching, and Melissa not only oversees the implementation of this new role, but also develops the training and supervision plan. Most recently, in January 2018, Melissa was offered and accepted the position of Project Director, Project POINT and Mobile Project POINT.

Treating Youth with Opioid Addiction: Cases and Controversies (1.5 CME)
Contains 4 Component(s), Medical Credits OfferedEarn 1.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™ while learning how to treat youth with opioid addiction while employing developmentally specific approaches, using relapse prevention medication (MAT), from this conference recording from The ASAM 49th Annual Conference (2018).. The session also includes when and how to involve families, as well as a discussion on issues in confidentiality and the use of various levels of care.
(1.5 CME) In this conference recording from the 2018 Annual Conference, you will learn about more about treating youth with opioid addiction through cases and controversies. Young people are disproportionately affected by the current opioid epidemic, with catastrophic consequences for youth and their families. Despite the urgent need, there is a lack of consensus about treatment approaches for youth. Many practitioners have questions, and struggle with this “mysterious” and difficult to engage population. This workshop will feature an interactive, case-based format. Workshop leaders will present 4-5 cases with background and treatment course, each punctuated by “what would you do next…” management questions for guided discussion at several pivotal decision points in the course. Cases are chosen to reflect real world concerns and clinical conundrums, key learning objectives, practice debates and controversies.
The goal is to engage participants in a lively conversation about developmentally-informed strategies, approaches, and treatment options in the treatment of this critical target population.
Featured cases
- 18 M at 5th episode of residential detoxification who has been unable to sustain continuing outpatient care despite previous course of buprenorphine.
- 19 F who becomes pregnant during treatment with extended release naltrexone.
- 20 M in outpatient treatment, abstinent from opioids on buprenorphine, but struggling with cocaine and other non-opioid substances, opposes communication with family.
- 17 F who presents in crisis to residential treatment seeking detoxification, and struggles with the process of decision making around recommendations for and choice of relapse prevention medications (buprenorphine vs extended release naltrexone).
- 18 M with sickle cell anemia with repeated relapses despite multiple treatment levels of care, including multiple attempts at outpatient buprenorphine treatment under various programmatic conditions.
The case discussions will cover a range of questions, including:
- developmentally specific approaches to treatment of adolescents and young adults with OUDs;
- use of relapse prevention medication (MAT) in youth;
- the role of families, when and how to involve them;
- confidentiality; use of various levels of care;
- the impact of other substance use disorders (primarily cannabis and alcohol);
- delivery models for medications and psychosocial treatment modalities; and others.
