- [Treatment Issues Track] Improving the Performance of Specific Treatment Programs: Part 1– CSAT’s grant programs provide a unique opportunity for selected treatment providers to develop and implement clinical interventions to improve client outcomes. This session will share the experiences of the Treatment for Homeless grant program, the Co-Occurring Treatment grant program, and the HIV grant program. The session will also present the most significant/promising treatment strategies.

- [ROSC Track] Policy Implications– This session will provide an integrated view of recovery-oriented systems of care with special emphasis on relevant policy implications and regulatory issues. The presenters will offer examples of successful strategies they used to address complex policy issues in their State. These strategies may serve as models for approaches participants can use to navigate policy and regulatory changes to advance recovery-oriented change efforts.

- [Pursuing and Sustaining Funding Track] The Maintenance of Effort (MOE) Conundrum: Learning How to Turn the Thorn into Gold– This session will highlight the challenges and successes of different approaches to the SAPT Block Grant MOE conundrum. Although many States often consider the MOE requirement to be a thorn in the side, panelists will discuss recent experiences several States have had in strategically leveraging the MOE requirement with State legislatures and obtaining increased funding essential to moving the State substance abuse agenda, systems, and funding forward. The panel will discuss successful efforts to educate State legislatures on the benefits of maintaining funding levels during an economic climate that would otherwise result in cuts.

- [Workforce Development Track] Clinical Supervision: A Key Component to Developing Staff– Many studies have shown that clinical supervision is critical to staff recruitment, retention, and adoption of evidence-based practices. And yet, in many cases, clinical supervision is not reimbursable. Therefore, many programs cannot afford adequate supervision which has a negative impact on staff development and service delivery. This session will present some creative ways States have addressed this issue and included clinical supervision as a billable service. In addition, the session will discuss TAP 21A-Competencies for Substance Abuse Treatment Clinical Supervisors, and how it can be utilized to improve outcomes.
