New Evidence for Non-Pharmacological Treatment
Recorded: Thursday, September 29, 2022 - Saturday, October 1, 2022
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 1-hour, 45-minute, on-demand session from the 2022 ASAM State of the Art Course examines research on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT.i), Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and clinician-facilitated AA (Twelve-Step Facilitation, TSF), the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), and Contingency Management (CM). Presentations will provide essential information for clinicians working in non-specialty settings who may wish to utilize proven strategies.
In addition to pharmacological treatment, addiction providers should have a robust toolbelt of non-pharmacological treatment approaches. Presentations in This 1-hour, 45-minute, on-demand session from the 2022 ASAM State of the Art Course examines research on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT.i), Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and clinician-facilitated AA (Twelve-Step Facilitation, TSF), the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), and Contingency Management (CM). Presentations will provide essential information for clinicians working in non-specialty settings
who have little knowledge of, or experience with these non-pharmacological approaches but who may wish to utilize proven strategies. Following the session, a moderated panel discussion among the presenters answers audience questions.
This session is comprised of 4 presentations that deep dive into different aspects of the overall topic.
- The Role of Sleep Treatment in Addiction Medicine
The average human adult will spend one-third of their life asleep. It is essential for human health. Yet 1 in 3 to 4 adults in the United States will experience insomnia at some point in their lives, and rates are even higher among those who drink alcohol. This session reviews multidimensional conceptualizations of sleep health, the prevalence of sleep disorders across the spectrum of Alcohol Use Disorder, and the feasibility and efficacy of insomnia treatment in reducing alcohol use outcomes. - Twelve Step Facilitation: An Update
Twelve Step Facilitation (TSF) is an evidence based treatment developed in the early 90's, which developed methods for clinicians to utilize to help patients to attend and benefit from attending 12 Step meetings ( specifically Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) - but can be used for other Anonymous programs). Just as a clinician might utilize Motivational Interviewing or CBT strategies within a session, A recent Cochrane review concluded that TSF was just as effective as these interventions, and in fact more effective in patients attaining abstinence from substances. There are over 60,000 AA groups a week in the USA. This presentation will demonstrate a few simple and brief methods for TSF which can be easily incorporated into clinicians sessions. - The CETA System of Care: An Innovative Way to Improve Behavioral/Mental Health Care
The Common Elements System of Care Approach (www.cetaglobal.org) is an innovative approach to solving some of the challenges within mental and behavioral health care, such as long wait lists, frequent referrals, long treatment time, and ineffective care. It incorporates evidence-based assessment and triage, a range of clinical services, and monitoring and evaluation. It is designed to address comorbidity (inclusive of substance use and interpersonal violence), a wide range of severities, and work across the lifespan. This presentation will present evidence for the effectiveness of the CETA system, as well as walk through why mental/behavioral health needs innovation and change to progress. - Update on Contingency Management Research and Practice
The rise of methamphetamine use across the US and the recent regulatory changes by the federal government have led to increased interest in contingency management. Further, research advances include increased evidence for contingency management as an intervention for alcohol use disorder, demonstrations that adapted versions of contingency management are effective for minorities groups, as well as initial research on the science of dissemination and implementation of the intervention in practice settings. This talk will provide an overview of contingency management, recent advancements in contingency management research, and federal policy changes that for the first time provide clear guidance on how contingency management can be used to treat substance use disorders with Medicaid and Medicare enrollees.
These sessions are intended for experienced learners and are taught an intermediate or advanced level. The target audience includes:
- Addiction medicine specialists who are interested in the latest research in the field and its translation to clinical practice
- Physicians and other healthcare professionals who treat patients with addiction and seek an advanced level of knowledge
- Scientists, researchers, public health officials and advocates dedicated to the field of addiction medicine
This conference addresses all 6 ACGME Competencies.
Learning Objectives
At the end of the course, learners should be able to:
- Discuss the important, new, scientific breakthroughs in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of addiction.
- Critically evaluate new science and describe how it changes the current understanding of addiction and co-occurring medical or psychiatric disorders.
- Develop practical applications for integrating new and emerging science into practice.
- Identify gaps in the field of addiction medicine that future research can address.
- Create a network of colleagues and resources to support the learner's practice or form future research collaborations.
