Opening Scientific Plenary Session
Recorded: Thursday, April 22, 2021 - Saturday, April 24, 2021 On-Demand Session
Overview
The ASAM Virtual 2021 begins with an energizing Opening Scientific Plenary Session! Moderated by ASAM President Paul H. Earley, MD, DFASAM, distinguished presenters of the opening session will focus on providing cutting edge science and an inspiring look at heroes on the frontline.
Substance Use Disorders and COVID-19: Intertwined Epidemics In addition to the continued growth in the Nation’s opioid epidemic in recent years, there has been an alarming resurgence in stimulant use--including cocaine and methamphetamine. The devastating overdose fatality tolls that these crises have exacted, compounded by the further increases in drug use and overdose deaths attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic have made finding effective strategies all the more urgent and are bringing to light some unique social and structural challenges faced by those with substance use disorders.
ED-initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder: Should it be a choice? This presentation will discuss innovative solutions for increasing access to medications for opioid use disorder in the ED setting. Dr. D’Onofrio will present what we know, and summarize ongoing research that has the potential to change practice and improve the care of patients with OUD.
In Case of Emergency: A Filmmaker Witnesses the Opioid Crisis Carolyn Jones—award-winning author, photographer and filmmaker behind The American Nurse Project, Defining Hope and In Case of Emergency—has spent the last ten years documenting the work of nurses across the country. She most recently focused her lens on the ER, before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, discovering that emergency nurses all across the country share a deep and pressing concern: the opioid crisis. In this presentation, Carolyn will share stories from the nurses, doctors and patients she interviewed, exploring public misperceptions about addiction, and the ways in which hospital emergency departments are working toward alternatives to opioids, bridging patients with external treatment programs, and other potential solutions.

Clinical Considerations for Sexuality Issues in Substance Abuse Recovery
Recorded: Thursday, April 22, 2021 - Saturday, April 24, 2021 On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour on-demand session from ASAM Virtual 2021 addresses the complex topic of sexual histories of individuals with SUD and provides an overview of the sexual health challenges these individuals may experience as well as suggestions for treatment.
Individuals with substance use disorders tend to have complicated sexual histories, that may include having sex while using substances, exchanging sexual behaviors for substances, or experiencing sexual dysfunction as a result of substance use, withdrawal, or recovery. Although mental health providers do an excellent job at assessing the global health of patients who use substances, the client's sexual health still tends to be missed in mental health treatment. This presentation provides mental health professionals with a brief overview of what sexual health challenges their clients with substance use disorders may experience, as well as suggestions for treatment.
The target audience for this introductory level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care, Medical Knowledge, Interpersonal Skills.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
Identify the five Circles of Sexuality
Identify at least 3 ways in which substance use/abuse impacts one's sexual health

Jennifer DiBartolomeo
MA
Jenn DiBartolomeo, MA is a 5th-year graduate student at Widener University's Institute for Graduate Clinical Psychology, an intern at the Center for Integrative Medicine, and a therapist at Emerge Wellness who specializes in LGBTQ+ mental health care and sexuality-related counseling. She received her Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Temple University and is currently a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology and Human Sexuality at Widener University, where she obtained her Master's degree in 2019. Jenn has experience working in a variety of mental health settings, including schools, psychiatric hospitals, residential eating disorder treatment facilities, and outpatient addiction treatments. Her feminist values lead to a socially-aware, integrative approach to therapy that considers not just the mental health of the person in front of her, but also the world that the person lives in. She also likes to integrate mindfulness and acceptance practices in therapy in order to help clients live in the present moment as opposed to ruminating on the past or worrying about the future.
Jenn works from a sex-positive, kink-positive, and poly-aware lens and welcomes discussion of these topics in therapy. In creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship, Jenn aims to help clients with challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image, relationships, eating disorders, addictions, and many other topics. Jenn's current internship at the Center for Integrative Medicine over the last year and a half has increased her interest and experience with working with substance use disorders, especially utilizing integrative treatment and MAT.

This 1-hour on-demand session from ASAM Virtual 2021 addresses the expansion of telemedicine in remote areas and the challenges and solutions experienced in serving remote veteran and American Indian patients with opioid use disorders.
Evaluation and Treatment of Opioid Use Disorders in Remote Areas with Telemedicine
Recorded: Thursday, April 22, 2021 - Saturday, April 24, 2021 On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour on-demand session from ASAM Virtual 2021 addresses the expansion of telemedicine in remote areas and the challenges and solutions experienced in serving remote veteran and American Indian patients with opioid use disorders.
The epidemic of COVID-19 has brought many challenges to the evaluation and treatment of opioid use disorders and chronic pain syndrome. Rural communities have experienced an exacerbation of provider and pain treatment shortfalls, complicating the provision of services and maintaining engagement. Telemedicine expansion has provided opportunities and new challenges in the evaluation, treatment and documentation of opioid use disorder treatment. We will emphasize challenges and solutions experienced in serving remote veteran and American Indian patients with opioid use disorders. The strict adherence to the CDC 2016 Guidelines for Opioid Use in Chronic Pain has been associated with a 60% decrease in prescribed opioids yet the Veteran's Administration have observed increases in overdose deaths and suicides in patients who have had their opioids terminated.
Please Note: That recent legislation has removed the waiver requirement to prescribe buprenorphine. Some of the course content and descriptions refer to the waiver and we appreciate your patience as we work to update this content. To learn more about federal buprenorphine prescribing regulations, check out Policies Governing Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder.
The target audience for this intermediate level session includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, other clinicians, researchers, residents, fellows, students, and counselors.
This session addresses the following ACGME Competencies: Patient Care, Practice-Based Improvement, Interpersonal Skills, Systems Based Practice.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion, learners will be able to:
To recognize clinical challenges in COVID related settings for diagnosis and treatment of Opioid Use Disorders (OUD)
To discuss the clinical challenges that COVID has brought to patients burdened with Opioid Use Disorders and the clinical staff providing services
To implement Medications used for Addiction Treatment (MAT) via telemedicine with the new rules of engagement
