SUMMARY:SSW Webinar: Harm Reduction: From Principles to Practice
DESCRIPTION:This interactive webinar will discuss all aspects of harm reduction. Participants will be able to identify at least 3 principles of harm reduction work. Participants will be able to define harm reduction. Participants will also be able to differentiate between a successful harm reduction approach and less successful approaches and identify at least two reasons behind unsuccessful approaches. Participants will be introduced into the diagnostic criteria of the DSM and dimensional criteria of the ASAM 3\, in the lens of determining the need of admission to treatment and continued care need from a harm reduction treatment perspective. Participants will be able to identify three different medicated assisted treatments (MAT)\, and discussion of medicinal marijuana being added as an MAT option. \nInstructor: Glenn Duncan\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\, ACS\nDate: Wednesday\, February 8\, 2023Time: 9:30 am – 12:30 pm ETLocation: Zoom (Interactive Webinar)\nOnline Live Webinar\, Online\, NJ \n  \nFor more information and registration: Click here

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar: Ethical and Legal Issues in Substance Abuse Counseling
DESCRIPTION:This interactive webinar focuses on the major elements of legal issues surrounding counselors in working with patients who have substance use disorders. In this webinar\, participants will learn about the different areas of legal concern for today’s counselors working with clients who have both mental health and substance use issues. Legal areas include scope of clinical practice regarding supervision (including 2019 changes and proposed rule changes)\, ADC telehealth and telemedicine regulations (proposed in 2021)\, and NJ Uniform Enforcement Act changes (including 2021 changes). Other recent changes to include the required 3 hours of Legal Standards training include regulation/statute changes in ADC continuing education (3 hours of Legal Standards) and statutory requirements of 1 hour of opioid training (for those dually licensed professionals). \nInstructor: Glenn Duncan\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\, ACS\nDate: Thursday\, February 9\, 2023Time: 9:30 am – 12:30 pm ETLocation: Zoom (Interactive Webinar)\nOnline Live Webinar\, Online\, NJ \n  \nFor more information and registration: Click here

SUMMARY:GSAPP Webinar - Alcohol Moderation and Harm Reduction: A Clinician’s Toolbox for Office-Based Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Live Webinar \nDate: Friday February 10\, 2023\nTime: 9am- 12:15pm ET \nInstructor: Arnold Washton\, PhD\nInstructional Level: Intermediate \nParticipants attending this skills-training workshop will come away with an extensive toolbox of evidence-based alcohol moderation and harm reduction strategies they can apply immediately in clinical practice. Research shows that most people who drink “too much” are not alcoholics and that many of these “problem drinkers” can learn to moderate their drinking within safer limits rather than quit drinking completely. An alternative to traditional abstinence-only approaches\, harm reduction supports individualized treatment goals including less risky/harmful drinking\, moderate drinking\, and abstinence. Any steps taken to reduce negative consequences associated with substance use are viewed as steps in the right direction\, whether or not abstinence is the immediate or ultimate goal. \nParticipants of this workshop will learn how to help clients take a closer look at their alcohol use\, set realistic goals\, change their drinking patterns\, and acquire a better understanding of the role and meaning of alcohol use in their lives. The presentation will include lecture material highlighted by numerous case examples. \n3 CE credits for Psychologists (APA)\n3 CE credits for New York Psychologists (NYSED)

SUMMARY:SSW Webinar: Medical and Legal Marijuana in NJ: Practice and Policy Issues
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this interactive webinar is to identify the changes that have occurred in the NJ Medical Marijuana Program. The history of marijuana legalization and major events that have shaped this history are discussed. Known scientific research on the benefits of medical marijuana and the risks associated with marijuana usage are covered\, as well as the continued barriers to better scientific research on this topic. Interactive exercises are incorporated in order to have participants analyze child custody issues for clients who are on the NJ medical marijuana program. Other exercises include the participants discussing how treatment is impacted by medical marijuana and participants will analyze under what conditions there would be a “duty to report” a coworker on medical marijuana. \n\n\n\nInstructor: \nGlenn Duncan\, LPC\, LCADC\, CCS\, ACS\n\n\nDate: \nFriday\, February 10\, 2023\n\n\nTime: \n9:30 am – 12:30 pm ET\n\n\nLocation: \nZoom (Interactive Webinar)\n\n\n\n  \nFor more information and registration: Click here

SUMMARY:CMBN Colloquium Series: New Approaches to the Neuroscience of Human Drug Addiction: Drug Bias\, Natural Language Processing and the Synchronized Brain
DESCRIPTION:Online | Zoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/98443527746?pwd=SDcyRE1PRlZ1VStWTi92Q1J5YWNadz09\nDrug addiction is a chronically relapsing disorder characterized by excessive drug use despite catastrophic personal consequences (e.g.\, loss of family\, job\, health) and even when the substance is no longer perceived as pleasurable. In a theoretical model called iRISA (Impaired Response Inhibition and Salience Attribution) we postulated that core impairments in addiction are the disproportionate value/salience attributed to the drug and drug cues at the expense of other reinforcers\, with a concomitant decrease in inhibitory control and self-regulation. This model assigns a primary role to the prefrontal cortex\, part of the dopaminergic mesocorticolimbic circuit\, in these higher-order executive deficits. In this talk\, I will present results of human neuroimaging studies where we utilized a multimodal approach (neuropsychology\, functional magnetic resonance imaging\, diffusion weighted imaging\, event-related potentials recordings) across drugs of abuse (cocaine\, heroin) to explore the neurobiology underlying these core behavioral\, cognitive\, emotional and motivational impairments in drug addiction (encompassing drug cue reactivity\, impulsivity) as associated with its clinical symptomatology (encompassing craving and drug seeking). Novel results shed light on brain recovery with abstinence and active treatment\, inclusive of cognitive enhancement with pharmacological (methylphenidate) and behavioral (cognitive reappraisal) tools\, as well as with mindfulness and direct brain stimulation (with transcranial devices). Natural language processing and naturalistic stimuli (i.e.\, movies: real-life\, dynamic\, complex and context-rich) are now also being explored in the lab for their use in unraveling ecologically valid brain-behavior biomarkers (and predictors) of both impairment and recovery in drug addiction. Together\, this talk will exemplify the use of neuroimaging to better understand human drug addiction and for the development of empirically-based effective neurorehabilitation strategies in this devastating disorder.
