E1 Building Effective Therapeutic Partnerships<br />
Within Opioid Agonist Treatment<br />
Continental A<br />
Robert C. Lambert, MA, <strong>Program</strong> Director, Connecticut<br />
Counseling Centers, Inc., Norwalk, CT<br />
Research indicates that the quality of the therapeutic relationship<br />
has a greater effect on patient retention and outcomes then the<br />
specific counseling approach used. This “basic track” workshop will<br />
focus on the essential fundamental counseling skill of forming and<br />
maintaining the therapeutic relationship and the unique challenges<br />
involved in enhancing the therapeutic alliance with medicationassisted<br />
patients within the clinical setting. A key area of focus will<br />
be counselor expectancy as a therapeutic factor. Boundary issues<br />
specific to the counselor in recovery will also be explored. The<br />
presenters will discuss methods to enhance the quality of the therapeutic<br />
alliance.<br />

E2 Using Data From the REMAS Study to Assist<br />
Counselors in Promoting Sexual Risk Reduction<br />

Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA<br />
Findings from the Real Men Are Safe (REMAS) study will be<br />
presented with an emphasis on results concerning engaging in sex<br />
under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Suggestions about how findings<br />
from REMAS can be integrated into counseling sessions will be<br />
presented. Despite the REMAS intervention being associated with<br />
sexual risk reduction and identified by the CDC as a promising<br />
evidenced based HIV prevention intervention, few programs are<br />
using REMAS materials.<br />
Possible reasons for low adoption will be proposed and attendees<br />
will be led in a discussion of what would be needed to increase adoption<br />
of REMAS.<br />

SAMHSA/CSAT funded networks of mentors who provide education<br />
and support to clinicians prescribing buprenorphine and/or<br />
methadone. The workshop offers an overview of the PCSS, describes<br />

Removing Barriers to Treatment<br />

Colleen Maguire, MHS, Thomas Jefferson University,<br />

The majority of female patients receiving MAT are single mothers<br />
with few supports. Lack of safe childcare is a major barrier to<br />
entering, engaging and/or remaining in treatment. The presenters<br />
will share evidence on the need for childcare during MAT, benefits of<br />
an on-site service and elements of Women’s Centered Treatment.<br />
They will describe their clinic’s Parent Child Center (PCC): staffing,<br />
funding, infection control measures, developmentally appropriate<br />
programming, assessment/referral of at risk children, communication<br />
from PCC to the treatment team, acclimation of children to the<br />
PCC and how the PCC is linked into the parents’ treatment program.<br />
