Past, Present, and Possible Futures of the Methadone Treatment System: A Webinar Series

>From the National Coalition to Liberate Methadone, in partnership with NASTAD

NASTAD will host a webinar series led by the National Coalition to Liberate Methadone (NCLM)<https://www.liberatemethadone.org/home>. Methadone is an essential tool for saving lives during an overdose crisis and reducing the risk of HIV and hepatitis C transmission among people who inject drugs. The series begins with an exploration of how and why the methadone treatment system in the U.S. was established and a description of the service and policy landscape. The second webinar will cover methadone-related stigma, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and delve into patient and provider perspectives.

Tuesday, September 10th, 3 - 4:30pm ET

Part 1: History of the Methadone System: How did we get here?<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0udOigqz8jHdROYVjZYYz-f_Ek8dE9VdxF>

Tuesday, September 24th, 3 - 4:30pm ET

Part 2: Current Methadone Acc<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkc-qqqjsiG9xI6_2Dm7VhcX5tAHNg6kVz>ess: Where are we now?<https://nastad.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUkc-qqqjsiG9xI6_2Dm7VhcX5tAHNg6kVz>

Future webinars in this series will examine potential reforms to the methadone treatment system and reimagine the experience of methadone maintenance in line with the principles of autonomy, harm reduction, and person-centered care.

Hi everyone,

NACCHO is conducting a pulse check to see if and how local health departments (LHDs) and syringe services programs (SSPs) are engaged with opioid settlement funds. Every U.S. state, as well as Washington DC, is receiving some form of settlement funds from lawsuits against opioid manufacturers, distributers, and pharmacies. In the national settlement agreement, harm reduction was identified as a core strategy, but states and localities are not required to implement core strategies. State and locality priorities, allocation plans, and processes for distributing opioid settlement funds vary widely.

This pulse check<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=frIXp_NbO0Wx1xKQ-hfcAkq9lZCrc1tPrdSpPyRYUt1UODlGMk5BRTNZTlBBNlRSTjJVSlYzVEExRC4u&route=shorturl> is designed to collect feedback from LHDs and SSPs about their knowledge and engagement with opioid settlement funds. Only one representative from each LHD or SSP should respond to this pulse check, ideally the person with the most knowledge about your organization's involvement with settlement funds. If this is not you, please forward this to the person in your organization that can best share this information. We are interested in your organization's response, regardless of your organization's level of knowledge about opioid settlement funds.

Please visit here to take the pulse check: https://forms.office.com/r/4ud2pifAvv<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=frIXp_NbO0Wx1xKQ-hfcAkq9lZCrc1tPrdSpPyRYUt1UODlGMk5BRTNZTlBBNlRSTjJVSlYzVEExRC4u&route=shorturl>

This pulse check<https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=frIXp_NbO0Wx1xKQ-hfcAkq9lZCrc1tPrdSpPyRYUt1UODlGMk5BRTNZTlBBNlRSTjJVSlYzVEExRC4u&route=shorturl> should take 10-15 minutes to complete. Information provided will remain confidential; findings will only be shared in aggregate and will not include identifying information from any respondents. Responses will help NACCHO understand how to better support LHDs and their community harm reduction partners in navigating the complex landscape opioid settlement landscape. Please complete this pulse check by EOD October 4th, 2024.

The opioid settlement pulse check was based on the master settlement agreements signed by 48 states, and as such may not address the nuanced challenges faced by tribal nations who may also be receiving funds. Please see OpioidSettlementTracker.com<https://www.opioidsettlementtracker.com/faq/>, Johns Hopkins<https://opioidprinciples.jhsph.edu/implementation-tools/> opioid settlement implementation tools, and TribalOpioidSettlements.com<https://www.tribalopioidsettlements.com/> for more information about the opioid settlements.

I Want the Kit: Addressing the Burden of STIs in Indian Country

Tuesday, September 24, 2024
12:00 to 1:00 p.m. PT

[Register]<https://washington.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_69FW4K7qSkC7P5vu1ur-aQ>

More than 1 million curable sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are acquired every day. Unfortunately, lack of public awareness, lack of training among healthcare providers, and stigma around STIs remain and prevent people from getting the tests and treatment they need.

In this hour-long webinar, Gretchen Armington, MA, the Deputy Director of the Center for Innovative Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases (CIDID) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Program Director for I Want The Kit (IWTK), along with Alicia Edwards, MPH, CHES, the HIV/STI Communications Manager in the Syndemic Support Department at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB), and Cody Knight MPH, CPH, Program Manager on the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board will tell the story of STIs in Indian Country. The presentation will include a brief historical background of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) in the United States, social determinants of health, the rates and locations of STIs in Indian Country, and the IWTK intervention. The presenters will also share some preliminary data on uptake to date, information on successes, limitations, and practical next steps.

Register today<https://washington.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_69FW4K7qSkC7P5vu1ur-aQ#/registration> to learn how STIs affect Indian Country and gain knowledge of how IWTK works for clients and practitioners.

On Friday, HRSA released a bulletin<https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USHHSHRSA/bulletins/3b3769f?reqfrom=share> announcing the renewed availability of JYNNEOS vaccine from the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) within the HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) for the purposes of vaccinating at-risk patients against mpox.

The SNS has a limited supply of JYNNEOS vaccines available that expire on October 31, 2024. To help encourage uninsured and underinsured people to get vaccinated against mpox, ASPR will ship JYNNEOS doses to your health center at no cost starting today, September 9. These vaccines are intended for those who are at high risk of mpox and who do not have health care coverage to pay for vaccination.

Since this supply of doses expire on October 31, the first of the two-dose series will need to be administered no later than October 3 and any leftover doses should be destroyed after October 31. For more information on administration and refrigeration, read the full bulletin here<https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/USHHSHRSA/bulletins/3b3769f?reqfrom=share>.
