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 />

Continental C<br />

Jeneane Burke, MSN, Thomas Jefferson University,<br />

Philadelphia, PA<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 />
