Integrating Care for Substance Use Disorders into Mainstream Health: Who Will Benefit
and How Soon?
The Affordable Care Act will revolutionize the treatment of “addictions.” This is
because addictions have historically not been considered medical illnesses, their
care not taught in medical schools or financed through health insurance. The result has been
stigmatized addiction programs unable to adopt proven medical methods – and a general
healthcare system fraught with misdiagnoses, needless costs and inadequate quality of care for
the 20-40% of medical patients with concurrent “medically harmful substance use.” The new
legislation requires healthcare insurers and providers to offer the same range and duration of
care benefits for addiction treatment as are currently available for similar chronic illnesses such
as diabetes. With this as background, the presentation will discuss the conceptual, clinical and
financial issues involved in integrating care for substance use disorders into mainstream healthcare.
Kevin T. McCauley, MD, Co-Founder, Institute of Addiction Study
Emerging from the Darkness: End of the Drug War and the Rise of Recovery
Not only have the ships for which we have waited for so long appeared on the
horizon, some of them have now come into port. Parity. Treatment on demand.
Stigma reduction. These once seemingly impossible dreams are today a reality.
The White House creates an “Office of Recovery” and speaks openly about a
“Third Way” for new policy. As we emerge from the rubble of the Drug War, we can rebuild on
the foundation of astonishing brain research that has quietly accumulated through decades
of zero-tolerance and mass incarceration. In this presentation, Dr. McCauley will stop and
realize this moment in history, and compare it to other challenges of health disparity and social
inequality. He will also review the rising science of recovery and explore concepts of recovery
management. He will elucidate this “Third Way,” and consider the challenges it entails. He will
explore innovative policies, enacted on local and national levels, which hold the promise of
preventing addiction before it starts, treating it on a scale never before seen in the US, and
re-enfranchising a battered but resilient American demographic. As groups of men and women,
formerly living in the shadows, come together, define themselves, and become a people, we
should not forget: History is watching.

Using Communities That Care (CTC) to Create Collective Impact on Behavioral Health
Due to the success of concerted investment in child health, more children are
surviving into adolescence and the focus has shifted to non-communicable diseases often
produced by behavioral health problems including tobacco, alcohol and other drug use,
violence, risky sexual behavior, unsafe driving and mental health problems. These behavioral
health problems, often begun in adolescence, increase risk for illness and death throughout
adulthood.

Tom Hill, MSW, Senior Associate, Altarum Institute
Riding the Wave: Surfing the Addiction Recovery Movement
In recent years, a convergence of many elements has resulted in a growing
and vital recovery movement. People in recovery are being inspired to step up
and speak out, representing a visible and vocal constituency that is committed
to advancing an agenda of social change. Tom Hill will discuss his personal
experience with the recovery movement, connecting the transformative journey of personal
recovery with overarching advocacy issues.
Over the last 40 years, longitudinal studies have identified potential causes of these
behavior problems, often called risk and protective factors. Prevention scientists have
designed and rigorously tested preventive interventions to reduce known risk factors
and enhance protection. These studies have identified effective preventive interventions.
Despite the progress of prevention science, tested effective prevention programs are not
widely implemented in communities. Communities that Care (CTC) was developed to build
community capacity to select and implement effective prevention programs that address
each community’s specific needs. This keynote will describe the Communities That Care
approach to preventing adolescent drug use, delinquency, violence, mental health and related
problems and the results of the trial of CTC involving 24 towns across seven states, including
Utah. Sustained effects of CTC on tobacco use, alcohol use, delinquency and violence through
high school and the importance of adoption of a science based approach to prevention by key
community leaders will be discussed.
Gabriella Grant, MA, Policy Studies, Director, California Center of
Excellence for Trauma Informed Care
Trauma: Safety and Connection as the Goal of Treatment
This keynote presentation looks at the profound healing power of safety, the
distinction of physical and emotional safety, and how a trauma-informed
framework can help publicly funded systems improve outcomes, save public
money, and decrease staff turnover and burnout.

This presentation will engage participants in an interactive discussion about the effectiveness of
environmental strategies. It will address the case review of laws, rules and policy effects on prevention
efforts and how they shape the communities and environment. How does policy affect risk? What
are the implications of a good alcohol policy versus no policy or little enforcement? There will be a
comparison of what an effective alcohol policy looks like as Utah’s Enforcing the Underage Drinking
Laws Program is highlighted, showing correlation to having low DUI crashes arrests and drinking rates.
This presentation will also address the gaps in the state and discuss ways to strengthened existing laws,
strategies and collaborations.

The Butt Stops Here: Treating Nicotine as an Addiction Ballroom F
Jed Burton, LCSW, Director of Clinical Services, Weber Human Services and Wendi Davis-Cox, Program
Director, Weber Human Services
Since the recent changes of becoming a tobacco-free campus, the larger issue continues to be - how
is nicotine being treated as an addiction? Are we just trying to follow a policy or is tobacco use being
addressed as a SUD (Substance Use Disorder)? Traditionally, in mental health and addiction treatment
settings, tobacco use has been viewed as a less harmful alternative to alcohol or illicit drug use and/or
other self-harm behaviors. What we now know is treatment of tobacco dependence may even improve
addiction treatment and mental health outcomes. This workshop will be interactive and provide resources
to incorporate tobacco cessation as part of treatment planning.
The Science of Sober Living: Sober Living Best Practices Ballroom A
Kevin T. McCauley, MD, Co-Founder, Institute of Addiction Study
As uncertainty grows over what treatment will look like in the future, sober living homes are sure to
receive greater attention. But what is sober living? The services these programs offer vary greatly - as
does the level of risk their residents assume when they move in. What are sober living best practices?
What restrictions are states, municipalities, and neighborhood organizations able to impose on them?
This lecture will explore the range of services sober living homes provide as well as the science of sober
living itself. The outcome data for a “recovery residence” over its four-year operation will be presented.

Advances in technology and the availability/access to the Web are impacting how behavioral health
professionals deliver treatment services and what constitutes typical standards of care. In addition, these

the Web, and provide guidance and recommendations for behavioral health professionals. Specifically,
this workshop will discuss: 1) History of Technology Use in Counseling; 2) Digital Types; 3) Social Media; 4)

Cross Impact Team
IMPACT Teams in Davis School District support teachers in their prevention efforts. The Impact Team
puts on presentations in elementary schools using the Prevention Dimensions Curriculum. The message
that the high school students bring is received extremely well by the elementary school students. It is
a powerful resource in promoting the message for safe and drug-free schools and communities. Young
people can overcome the many risk factors in society when they see positive examples, hear clear and
consistent messages and practice healthy living. It is a powerful tool to increase protective factors in
students’ lives. After each presentation, a counselor processes the issues with the audience. This is a very
important part of the peer support group’s purpose because it helps raise awareness levels, encourages
new insights, fosters healthy communication, suggests helpful resources available, and helps promote
healthy lifestyle decisions.

Santiago Cortez has been a mainstay of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services and support to the Substance
Use Treatment Community for over 35 years. Arriving in Salt Lake City in the 1970s, he ultimately became the
assistant director of Odyssey House Treatment where he has helped literally thousands of individuals enter into
recovery. In 2004 Santiago accepted the role of President of the Substance Use Disorder Counselor’s Association,
and as such he spearheaded the change in the Substance Abuse Counselor statute that passed in March of
2007 and raised the standards of the profession significantly. In 2007 he left Odyssey House and started Clinical
Consultants, providing services in an underserved area of Salt Lake County. In 2010 Santiago Cortez was elected
to be President of the Board of the Utah Substance Abuse Recovery Alliance, which later became Utah Support
Advocates for Recovery Awareness (USARA). In 2011 Santiago formed and chaired the Behavioral Healthcare
Workforce Workgroup that again elevated the requirements for professional licensing and created a career
ladder for individuals entering the field. One activity that cannot be overlooked is Santiago’s role as an advocate
for Behavioral Health Care and for improved care for individuals in recovery. He is a tireless advocate, spending
countless hours talking to legislators, partners, and other advocates, as well as testifying for and in opposition of
bills. He is a respected voice on the hill when it comes to good public policy, and was a key element in developing
and sponsoring a change to the expungement process, which opened a path for many individuals to clear their
records of offenses that were related to their addiction. Santiago currently serves as the Head of the USAAV
Treatment Committee, President of the Substance Use Disorder Counselor’s Board at DOPL, and continues to be
active in AUSAP and USARA. ​
