FOR-NY Executive Director, Stephanie Campbell, will provide an overview of advocacy efforts on the local, state and national fronts. There will be a panel to discuss Peer Professional Supervision and Training. Director of Education & Training, Theresa Knorr, and FOR-NY’s Board Vice President, Deborah Rhoades, will outline a new training that utilizes CRAFT (Community Reinforcement and Family Training).

Location: Meeting Room 5 Topics will include: Substance Use Disorders and Anxiety The relationship between substance use disorders and anxiety is complex. Addiction physicians face a major challenge in managing anxiety disorders, such as PTSD, in patients using alcohol, benzodiazepines and opiates. This presentation will provide a framework for evaluating the patient with substance use disorders and co-occurring anxiety disorders, and assist the professional in decision-making to manage these patients in clinical practice or a treatment team setting. Making the Emergency Department a Path to Recovery Given the alarming epidemic of opiate addiction and opiate overdose mortality, the Emergency Department is a setting that is of critical importance in the evaluation, stabilization, and referral to treatment for individuals, and their families, afflicted with opiate addiction. This presentation will provide the addiction physician with a clearer understanding of the complicated clinical variables in evaluating and treating opiate addicted patients, and the vital importance of communication to addiction treatment providers in the community. Engineering Neurobiological Systems Psychodynamic treatment of addiction requires an understanding of drug effects on the

brain. Neuropsychoanalysis involves correlation of psychoanalytic psychology and clinical

patient experiences with neurobiology and therefore fulfills this requirement. Engineering models

are based on neurobiology. Models facilitate efficacy of treatment.

Presenter (s): Gregory Hobbs, PhD, Laboratory Director, Truetox Laboratories LLC 3:00pm – 3:30pm Conference Break Location: Ballroom Atrium 3:30pm – 5:00pm Mini Plenary Sessions Mini Plenary #1 - Challenges in Treating Youth for SUDs – The Cannabis Dilemma Location: Ballroom West The current macro environment is sending perhaps the most confusing mixed messages to our youth about substance use ever. On one hand, NIDA funded studies demonstrate that the impact of drugs on the developing brain for youth presents tremendous risk and that the concentrations- “strength” of marijuana sampled off the street is the strongest ever. Then on the other hand, state governments are legalizing marijuana not only for medicinal purposes, but recreational. The end result is a generation of parents that have become complacent with drug use by their kids and young people who feel more empowered than ever before to use drugs. In the midst of this attitudinal shift in society, parents are not seeking help until their children’s use is at a far more progressed state. Unfortunately, when parents are seeking help, they are resistant, ambivalent at best in signing on to the appropriate level of care for the appropriate length of time. The end result is a larger number of youth who are at increased risk to use pills and opioids that may otherwise have been treated sooner with a better prognosis. This mini plenary is targeting discussion, strategies and recommendations that may ameliorate the current condition surrounding youth substance use and connections to treatment. Presenter (s): John Venza, LCSW-R, LMHC, VP, Outreach Project, Inc. Karen Carlini, Associate Director, Dynamic Youth Community, Inc.

survive? Or are we thinking some portion, if not all of the model will survive? Come by and join the conversation. Presenter (s): Facilitator: Debbie Pantin, President/CEO, Outreach Project, Inc.

There is a huge need for professionals in the field of addiction to be aware of treatment options that exist and key factors to assess when providing treatment to this special population. This mini plenary panel composed of providers treating veterans as well as a renowned national advocate (Melissa Fitzgerald) will address what’s being done, and what needs to be done to help the men and women who have served our country and now find themselves struggling with addiction!

This plenary talk will discuss the perils of Big Pot -- the big tobacco of our time, as Dr. Kevin Sabet will argue. Dr. Sabet will go through the latest developments over the battle to legalize marijuana, and will review the latest science about the drug. Dr. Sabet’s presentation is based on his book “Reefer Sanity: Seven Great Myths About Marijuana.” In his presentation, he will provide an overview of the current drug policy trends in the United States, and debunk some of the most cited myths about marijuana use, for instance: marijuana is harmless and non-addictive, and legalization will solve the government’s budgetary problems. Dr. Sabet makes the claim that our greatest concern should be the inevitable rise of a second Big Tobacco industry, this time marketing marijuana to our children and youth. He will refer to the already arising

problems in Colorado and Washington state as examples. His presentation concludes with an overview of our policy options, describing a smarter, science-based approach to marijuana policy that neither legalizes marijuana nor demonizes its users. You will hear more about marijuana, and more about marijuana policy, the health effects of the drug, and the current political landscape in this presentation than you likely ever have.
