  Description:
  Contingency management is one of the only evidence-based behavioral interventions shown to be effective in treating stimulant use disorder (StimUD). Contingency management provides monetary incentives (such as gift cards) for meeting treatment goals, including stimulant non-use as measured by negative urine drug tests (UDTs), rewarding individuals for changing their behaviors. Substance use offers a powerful, immediate reinforcement. Contingency management confronts this challenge by offering immediate financial awards that can help activate the brain’s reward system, thus encouraging the replacement of stimulants with the incentive to achieve a dopamine release. This lecture series will start off with an overview of the scope of the stimulant use problem and the acute and chronic impact of use. The lecture will review the disparities in impact on BIPOC communities and strategies to address these. The lecture will then provide an overview of contingency management for treating individuals with a stimulant use disorder (StimUD) and will provide information on the Recovery Incentives Program: California’s Contingency Management Benefit – a statewide pilot program for treating individuals with a StimUD. The panel portion of the lecture series event will feature Los Angeles providers participating in the Recovery Incentives program. The panel discussion will focus on implementing contingency management and lessons learned while initiating the pilot program.

  Description:
  This lecture series event is designed for providers and clinicians of the SAPC network and will provide a detailed review of the negative health impacts of alcohol consumption, especially as it relates to liver and pancreatic diseases. Specifically, this lecture will address the synergistic effect of alcohol and secondary risk factors such as diet and viral hepatitis on the development and progression of alcohol associated liver and pancreatic diseases (ALPD). Based on scientific studies, the Southern California Research Center for ALPD and Cirrhosis believes the best approach to understanding ALPD is to define the relationship between the diseases and these risk factors. This allows for the development of more effective prevention and treatment measures to be utilized by healthcare professionals. Through this lecture, participants will learn about the risk factors for ALPD, gain a deeper understanding of alcohol associated diseases in the community, and learn about current treatment options for alcohol use disorder and ALPD. A panel discussion with the presenters will follow the presentations which will allow for greater discussion and deepening in knowledge, translating into meaningful encounters substance use providers may have with patients.
