Supervision in addiction treatment programs: (Some) insights and future research ideas.

Jure Baloh, PhD, MHA
University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

ABSTRACT:
Substance use disorders (SUDs) are a significant public health burden in the US, affecting almost 50 million individuals annually. Community specialty SUD treatment programs (“SUD programs”) are key treatment providers and while effective treatments for SUD exist, significant issues in the organization and delivery of SUD programs undermine the delivery of high-quality services. Supervisors in SUD programs are centrally positioned to support SUD counselors (frontline clinical providers) and ensure high service quality. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of supervision and its conceptualization, highlight recent findings from Arkansas, and outline (some) research directions for the future.

Increasing the Uptake of Effective Addiction Health Services via Dissemination and Implementation Science

Sara Becker, PhD
Northwestern University

ABSTRACT:
This presentation will describe a program of research focused on increasing the uptake of effective health services for persons with or at risk of substance use disorders. At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to: (a) define key concepts in dissemination and implementation science; (b) describe efforts to increase access to addiction health services using an array of implementation frameworks, strategies, and outcomes; and (c) identify key resources for integrating dissemination and implementation science principles into their own work.

Alliances to Disseminate Addiction Prevention and Treatment (ADAPT)

Matthew Aalsma, PhD
Indiana University

ABSTRACT:
Data science and informatics are increasingly driving public health efforts. This had led to medical systems utilizing electronic health record information to drive care improvement. Change mechanisms, such as Learning Health Systems, have been applied less often within community based systems, such as court and treatment settings. Dr. Aalsma will discuss efforts to improve addiction screening and treatment for justice involved youth through community-based collaboration in Indiana communities.
