Opening General Session - Broadening Perspectives to Narrow the Treatment Gap
Recorded: Thursday, April 4, 2024 to Sunday, April 7, 2024
On-Demand Session
Overview
This 75-minute on-demand session from the ASAM 55th Annual Conference addresses how harm reduction principles can be embedded in clinical practice.
Narrow perspectives on recovery can limit patient engagement and negatively impact health outcomes. A broader approach, combining traditional treatment methods and harm reduction principles is necessary to adequately address the needs of people with substance use disorders. This presentation will describe the history of addiction care, identify shared goals of harm reduction and treatment service providers, and make the case for a chronic care model for addiction that is patient-centered and focuses on maximizing function and improving wellness. Join this session to learn more about incorporating this model into all practice settings and how even small changes can make a big difference.
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: Systems-based Practice
This session addresses the following ICPE Competencies:Roles and Responsibilities, Interprofessional Communication, Teams and Teamwork

- Describe three examples of ways harm reduction principles can be embedded in clinical practice.
- Learn how to leverage the trust of harm reduction programs to bring high quality low barrier care to people who inject drugs.
