Dear Special Guests: Welcome to Indianapolis and the 9th Annual Attorney General’s Drug Abuse Symposium. All of us gathered at this event likely share a commitment to doing everything within our power to mitigate the drug abuse crisis engulfing our state. In tackling this daunting challenge, we recognize theimmense difficulty of breaking cycles of addiction that torment so many of our friends, neighbors and loved ones. Some of you at this symposium know firsthand the power of addiction from your ownongoing struggles to stay clean and sober. The rest of us applaud your courage and appreciate your insights. Even as we realistically anticipate substance abuse getting worse in Indiana before it gets better, we also take heart in knowing we have the ability and the tools needed to reverse discouraging trends and put our state on a positive path to a brighter future. As policymakers and professionals, we must strike the right balance among the three strategies of prevention, treatment and enforcement. We must temper our idealism with realism; our compassion with tough love; and our belief in second chances with a clear-eyed recognition of the dangers of eroding personal accountability. We must think twice before reducing penalties for breaking the law or removing consequences associated with destructive behavior. Further, we must recognize the sad reality that increasing numbers of addicts get started down theroad of substance abuse at very young ages. In tailoring programs promoting awareness and education, we must find ways to effectively reach children and adolescents with messages that could prove life-saving.

I am deeply grateful to the Indiana Attorney General’s Drug Abuse Task Force and all stakeholders for their continued diligent work on these deeply important issues. Solutions to Indiana’s drug problems will arise from the efforts of all Hoosiers working together toward a comprehensive approach.

Very truly yours,

Curtis T. Hill Jr. Attorney General

Enforcement2. A New Approach to Serving Justice-Involved Substance Abusers and Addicted in Allen CountySpeakers: Wendy W. Davis, Marcia Haaff, Beth Lock and Paul Wilson

An unprecedented collaboration to combat drug abuse prevalent in the justice-involved population has been orchestrated in Allen County, Indiana. The advocacy and leadership of multiple stakeholders, along with the strong support of others with-in the State, resulted in the passage of Senate Enrolled Act 510-2017 and the development of an innovative pilot program to enhance the treatment and support of substance abusing individuals who are court ordered to supervision in the community. Panelists who were hands-on in the development of this pilot program will openly discuss how to best access your communi-ty’s need(s), the initiation and continuation of a true and healthy collaboration, navigation of the legislative process, as well as sharing their own hard lessons learned to date.


• Examine your local treatment and community-based supervision needs and formulate possibilities for your own community for justice-involved offenders. Utilize best practices in program development of initial brainstorming, building community partnerships, overcoming funding challenges, and program implementation. • Discuss the development of Senate Enrolled Act 510 in Allen County and identify local lessons learned in the process while navigating more efficiently and effectively the state legislative process in order to make the proposed policy from their community a legislative reality. • Assemble the players needed to recreate SEA 510 in your own community stemming from arrests and criminal justice-involved individuals struggling with addiction and examine whether something like this is needed in your local community.

Prevention/Education3. Addressing the Opioid Public Health Crisis- Effective Resources for CommunitiesSpeakers: Justin Phillips and Kourtnaye Sturgeon

Overdose Lifeline has been addressing the opioid public health crisis on a state and national level since 2014. Addiction / Sub-stance use disorders (SUDs) are a major public health concern in the United States. Nearly 22 million Americans 12 years of age or older had an SUD. More than 10 million Americans reported non-medical use of prescription opioids. This opioid pub-lic health crisis is affecting every county, every state, straining workforce readiness and impacting economic factors, families, communities and health and wellness. While the health crisis may seem insurmountable, there is hope. Communities across the country are organizing, activating, and working together - applying a number of best practices and solutions. We know that these strategies work. They work when community members in the public, private, federal, health care and law enforce-ment all work together. This workshop will provide knowledge and toolsets that can be applied.


• Understand the opioid public health crisis: what is occurring, how we arrived here, the contributors and risk factors.

• Identify steps to educate students, parents and community members and reduce the effects of the health crisis.

• Learn how to increase communication & training for managers/employees to raise awareness of the health crisis.

Prevention/Education3. Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine: Opioid Task Force Promoting Transparency and Data Sharing Speakers: Ann Vermilion, Mark Spitzer and Josh Ziglar

Representatives from the Grant County Opioid and Heroin Task Force will be highlighting their four-year journey in form-ing a successful coalition of over 125 members from 30 agencies. They will discuss sharing data such as hospital prescribing data trends, coroner’s data, undercover narcotic law enforcement case data, drug court data, health department data, etc., to ensure every member of the community is well-informed and understands the current opioid, heroin and now meth trends in our community. Learn the benefits from sharing information that in the past was deemed proprietary and/or sensitive data and making it public. Hear from a roundtable of panelists from the hospital, drug court judge and law enforcement on what is working well within this collaborative atmosphere and willingness to be transparent in the fight again opioid, heroin and substance abuse within an Indiana county.

Treatment4. Peer Recovery Coaches: Hope, Support, and Recovery Found in Parkview Health’s Emergency Depts.Speakers: Connie Kerrigan and Elisabeth Andrews-Murray

Parkview Health, a large not-for-profit medical/surgical hospital in northeast Indiana, treated over 1,000 non-fatal overdose patients in emergency departments in 2016 and the problem is only growing. This project highlights the successes and chal-lenges of implementing Peer Recovery Coaches into emergency departments (EDs) as a first line of treatment for those with a substance use disorder (SUD). Peer Recovery Coaches serve to share their personal story of strength and recovery as well as link people to treatment resources in our community. They follow people from the ED to their first treatment appointment, help people become insured, and offer friendship and mentorship, just to name a few services provided. We saw staff with-in our EDs become more compassionate with patients struggling with a SUD and staff noted that clinical treatment options alone may not be able to bring about change in someone’s life but the role-modeling of Peer Recovery Specialists combined with clinical treatment might. We faced structural challenges, including creating new positions and job descriptions of what a Peer Recovery Coach is and does within our hospital system, scheduling 24-hour coverage, and creating new billing codes in order to bill Medicaid for peer services, which became available in July of 2018. We also had many successes including linking people to treatment and helped save many lives. We are slowly creating a cultural shift in our hospitals to include peer support as a key in our treatment of SUDs.


• Define what Peer Recovery Support Coaches are and what they do in a large not-for-profit hospital.

• Understand the challenges and successes of incorporating peer support into a large not-for-profit hospital.

• Evaluate the effectiveness of peer support in a large not-for-profit medical/surgical hospital.

Breakout Sessions 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Clinical1. Opioid Substance Use Disorder: A Patient Safety ApproachSpeakers: Jim Fuller and Marty Cangany In 2016, the Indianapolis Coalition for Patient Safety, Inc., formed a multidisciplinary workgroup specific to identification and treatment of Substance Use Disorder with the focus on opioids. This workgroup has developed strategies for local health-sys-tems to implement to identify and treat patients with substance use disorder–framing this as a chronic medical condition that requires long term care, monitoring, management strategies and follow up as part of routine medical care across the patient’s lifespan. The workgroup’s efforts include recommendations related to: staff education (with a special emphasis on anti-stigma education), regular screening of all patients and brief interventions (SBIRT), reversal agents (naloxone), Medication Assisted Treatments (MAT), use of INSPECT reports, use of Treatment Resource Guides, and appropriate medication disposal.


• Describe how a community-wide patient safety coalition can accelerate the rate of change by using team-based and interprofessional approaches to quality improvement and patient safety.

Treatment3. Turning Point Recovery Center- A Successful Alternative to IncarcerationSpeakers: Rachel Halleck and Allison Pugh

Turning Point Recovery Center provides individualized treatment services to clients supervised through a criminal justice entity who are in need of clinically based residential treatment services that address the barriers and nature of addiction while treating co-occurring disorders as well. Turning Point operates in a trauma-informed and responsive manner, using a holistic and strengths-based approach while combining methodology from the Matrix and Sanctuary model. Turning Point Recovery Center serves as an alternative to incarceration for individuals on parole and probation. Recidivism will decrease for graduates of Turning Point Recovery Center as clients will abstain from the use of illegal drugs and substances while showing improvement in symptoms connected to mental health and addiction issues. Turning Point Recovery Center serves as a successful alternative to incarceration for individuals on parole and probation.

Learning Objectives: • Comprehend the effective impact residential addictions treatment services have in lowering recidivism rates, costs and effects.

Children & Prevention4. Stay Sharp, Think About It – Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program for TeensSpeakers: Missy Bowman, Andrew Bowman and Students

In this session a panel of Teen Challenge students in recovery will talk about the facts, lies and costs of addiction. For years in America we have cycled through drug education programs - most with the use of scare tactics to prevent students from drinking or using substances. This has in turn unfortunately led to many of these types of programs failing or becoming increasingly unrelated to the youth of today. The Teen Challenge students will talk about new innovative ways to prevent the disease of addiction rather than responding to it. With this session there will be a facilitated conversation that is open and honest about the harmful effects of drug and alcohol abuse. This session will also focus on the importance of supportive environments in the community that engage peers, young people, adults, students and administrators. There is a fear among the young people of today about discussing the use of drugs or alcohol.

Clinical1. Rural Innovations in Addictions CareSpeaker: Katrina Norris

Rural healthcare presents unique challenges and barriers for patients and families. Fayette Regional Health System received 9.4 million dollars from the Ryan White Foundation and the State Department of Health to build a withdrawal management (detox) program that could meet the needs of those with infectious disease along with other co-morbidities. This incredible opportunity did not come without challenges though, but from those challenges came opportunity. We will share our barriers, processes, and outcomes of this journey. North Star Recovery Center is built on a foundation of empowerment and resto-ration, to offer compassion as other chronic conditions in a beautiful, calming environment. Along with Opioid use disorder being so prevalent today, our opportunity was to help those around us understand innovations including a psychiatrist on site for patients, treatment of expectant mothers, intensive discharge planning, and medical management for patients with disease processes that require on going managment. For those who are lost, there is the North Star. We strive by the guiding light to assure that our partners in wellness may be guided on the path toward long term recovery.

Enforcement 2. Indiana HIDTA’s Heroin Response Strategy: Investing in Partnerships to Build Safe & Healthy CommunitiesSpeakers: Chuck Porucznik, Meredith Canada and Bob Glynn

During this session, we will provide a brief overview of the Indiana High Intensity Trafficking Area (HIDTA) and its new Heroin Response Strategy. The Indiana HIDTA seeks to reduce drug availability and usage by creating intelligence-driven drug task force initiatives aimed at eliminationg or reducing domestic drug trafficking and its harmful effects through the enhance-ment and coordination of drug trafficking enforcement efforts among federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. In the fall of 2017, Indiana HIDTA became the 22nd state to safety partnerships and projects at local, state, and federal levels, the HIDTA’s HRS is working to reduce fatal and non-fatal overdoses among Hoosiers.


• Identify the purpose of the Indiana HIDTA among local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.

• Discern the need for public health-public safety partnerships to decrease opioid overdoses among Hoosiers.

Prevention/Education3. Transforming Policies and Partnerships Among Schools, Public Safety, Treatment Providers and Community LeadersSpeakers: Scott Fadness, Suzanne Clifford, Steve Orusa, Ashley Elrod and Brooke Lawson

This interactive session will share real world examples about how participants can mobilize a coalition of community leaders, public safety, schools, families and treatment providers to break the cycle of substance use disorder and mental illness. 11% of adolescents below 18 years of age have a substance abuse disorder. 90% of individuals with a substance use disorder were younger than 18 years old when they started drinking, smoking or using other drugs. We cannot address the current crisis without intervening earlier, addressing the root cause, expanding school-based mental health and substance treatment and improving coordination between treatment providers, public safety, schools and families. The panel will also discuss common barriers as well as policies and action plans that can address these barriers.


• Describe three strategies to mobilize a coalition of families, community leaders, public safety, schools and treatment providers.

• List improvements that communities, schools, public safety and treatment providers can make to improve outcomes for people with substance use disorder and the overall community.

Treatment4. The Peer Led Recovery Movement in Indiana Speakers: Amy Brinkley and Brandon George

Maintaining peer supports within the continuum of care is a current hot topic across the United States and here within In-diana. Recent state and federal dollars now fund important components of this approach. More than 60 peers are now being placed within emergency rooms. A new forensic peer pilot program places peers within problem-solving courts. Mobile crisis addiction teams are being deployed. Other positive developments are the upcoming Medicaid reimbursement for Recovery Coaches in the state of Indiana and Recovery Works’ inclusion of peer-based services being covered for the criminal-justice population. In the face of this opioid epidemic as well as the ongoing Substance Use Disorder problems plaguing Indiana, many people are seeking to identify a solution. To top it off we have a healthcare workforce shortage. This workshop will delve into the history of mutual aid societies, current peer support initiatives, service interventions being offered and upcoming innovative peer support options being implemented within the state of Indiana. It will also look into why the peer voice and peer-led activities are effective. We will talk about solutions to the opioid epidemic, healthcare workforce shortage, and how crucial it is to have people with lived experience at the table through all of these discussions taking place locally, statewide and nationally.


• Identify the role and importance of Peer Support in current recovery, intervention, and treatment models offered.

• Break stigma, bias, and shame around addiction treatment.

• Define Certified Recovery Specialists and Recovery Coaches in Indiana.

Children & Clinical5. What is Happening in the Adolescent Brain During Risk Taking? Implications for Substance Use Disorder DevelopmentSpeaker: Leslie Hulvershorn

This session will cover our line of research that has focused on the drug naïve, pre-adolescent brain. Youth at low, medium and high risk for the development of substance use disorders have been enrolled in brain imaging studies that disentangle brain activation during risky decision making. This work has led to an improved understanding of why it is so hard for some youth to make consistently safe choices. These findings will inform the development of novel interventions for high risk youth.


• Learn about research on substance use disorder risk in children and adolescents.

• Understand brain mechanisms that have been uncovered during risky decision making.

• Appreciate the importance of these neurobiological findings in development and treatment of adolescent substance use disorders.

Enforcement 2. Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP) PresentationSpeakers: Aaron Negangard and Representatives of Dearborn County’s JCAP program

Local Jail Chemical Addiction Programs that are evidence-based and utilize a “therapeutic community” in a jail setting are one of several innovative approaches Indiana has seen. Part of the session will include a presentation of the Dearborn County Jail Chemical Addiction Program (JCAP), which was initiated without using county tax dollars; has a male and female pod at the Dearborn County Law Enforcement Center; and through an Indiana University initiative was found to be an effective evi-dence-based program reducing recidivism. The program is supported by judges, prosecutors, defense attorneys, community leaders and law enforcement.


• Learn how a Jail Chemical Addiction Program in your county jail can be part of the solution to the revolving door of substance abuse and promote community safety.

Prevention/Education3. Preventing Substance Use in Youth by Strengthening Families Speakers: Barbara Beaulieu and Amanda Galloway

The World Health Organization named “Strengthening Families Program: For Parents and Youth aged 10-14” the number one prevention program out of 6,000 programs analyzed for long-term effects on substance use and misuse in youth. This program, offered by Purdue Extension is an evidence-based parent, youth and family skills-building curriculum that: Prevents teen substance abuse and other behavior problems, strengthens parent/youth communications skills, increases academic success in youth, and prevents violence and aggressive behavior at home and at school. The program not only builds stronger families but also impacts communities by giving a return of $9.60 for every dollar invested in the program in benefits of less jail time, less time off work and less time in treatment.


• Learn how the program can prevent teen substance abuse and violence/aggressive behavior at home and in school.

• Strengthen parent/youth communications.

• Show how the program can be implemented in our county.

Treatment4. The Overlooked Risks of Benzodiazepine UseSpeaker: Catherine Pittman Recognition is growing of the dangers associated with benzodiazepine use, especially when they are combined with opioids. The first days and weeks of benzodiazepine use can have a critical impact. When combined with opioids, benzodiazepines pose the highest risk of overdose in the first days of use. Benzodiazepine dependence also poses a serious problem; With daily use, dependence can develop in as little as 3 weeks. Other countries as well as our own Veteran’s Administration have recognized the risks of benzodiazepines and are limiting their use. But among the U.S. public, benzodiazepine use has increased dramati-cally since the 1990s, and neither physicians nor the public are well informed about their risks. Proper use of benzodiazepines in the treatment of anxiety will be addressed, as well as the risks associated with daily benzodiazepine use. Risks associated with combining benzodiazepines with opioids will be identified. Furthermore, the nature of the withdrawal process from ben-zodiazepines and the lack of available assistance through the process will be described. Recommendations for physician and patient education will be provided.


• Articulate the method of action of benzodiazepines in the brain and body in order to understand their benefits and risks, particularly in combination with opioids.

• Determine the situations and warning signs that indicate benzodiazepine use is likely to lead to dependence or dangerous interactions with other drugs and substances in order to inform treatment interventions.

• Implement education for patients prescribed benzodiazepines in the treatment of anxiety-related disorders. including the proper use of these medications and the risks associated with them.

Clinical5. Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome: The Opioid Epidemic Explained and Treated Through AttachmentSpeaker: Joanna Chambers Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) is a phenomenon described in neonates born to mothers who are addicted to opiates. Parental presence and skin-to-skin contact between parent and infant have been shown to be the most effective treatments for NAS. This is largely due to the shared neurobiological pathways in the attachment process and the addiction/motivation process. This shared neurobiology between attachment and addiction is likely to be important for the treatment of mothers of these infants as well as for the infants with NAS. Hence, childbirth may be a crucial time to intervene with both the mother and the infant in an integrated way to impact the intergenerational opiate epidemic. The neurobiology of Attachment Theory, NAS, and addictions will all be described in detail, leading to a new way of understanding prevention and treatment.


• Understand the importance of Attachment Theory and how it relates to addictions.

• Understand the neurobiology of addiction and the neurobiology of attachment.

• Understand how attachment is a necessary component in the treatment of addictions in the mother and infant.

Lunch Keynote Address 1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m.

Opioid Use, Trafficking and Abuse in Mexico: The Importance of Binational CollaborationSpeaker: Oscar Aaron Santiago Quintos, Federal Attorney General’s Office of Mexico

Transnational Criminal Organizations have moved beyond the violence we hear about on the news. Production, trafficking and distribution of opioids has become a lucrative business for TCOs, particularly in the U.S., where the end-buyer is often located. Through the Merida Initiative, the U.S. continues to strengthen cooperation with Mexico to interrupt and punish drug traffickers and to stem drug abuse in both countries. Mr. Santiago Quinto will discuss the scope of the problem, and how pro-ductive bilateral collaborations between U.S. and Mexican partners can be one of the most effective ways to begin to combat this growing problem in both countries.


• Understand the opioid production and distribution problem in Mexico and how it affects the end users in the United States.

• Educate their colleagues – in law enforcement or otherwise – on the scope of how the issue in Mexico affects the same in the U.S.

• Collaborate with their binational counterparts to help address solutions to the growing problems due to the binational nature of this evolving problem.
