2016 CONFERENCE Call for Saving Lives: Access to Presentations Improved Health & Recovery OCTOBER 29NOVEMBER 2, 2016 CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS BALTIMORE MARRIOTT WATERFRONT DEADLINE: BALTIMORE, MARYLAND JANUARY 22, 2016 EARLY BIRD
Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to the 2016 AATOD Conference being held October 29 through November 2, 2016 at the Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, Maryland. This year’s conference is being sponsored by the Maryland Behavioral Health Administration. The conference theme, Saving Lives: Access to Improved Health & Recovery highlights the issues and challenges of medication assisted treatment in the context of health care reform. The conference will provide an opportunity to interact with leading national and international treatment experts working on innovative strategies to expand and enhance the skills of the behavioral healthcare workforce and contribute to the adoption
- f evidence based practices in the treatment of opioid use disorders. Your attendance
at this conference will provide you with the latest evidence relevant to the field of opioid treatment and allow you to critically evaluate the implications for patients, clinicians, administrators, and policy makers. In addition, there will be programming on ways to better promote, support, facilitate, and integrate medication assisted treatment into the judicial systems, government, and social service organizations. By expanding your facilities’ role for collaboration and effective partnerships among and between
- rganizations, we can improve the quality of treatment and the lives of those we serve.
The workshop committee extends an invitation for you to submit a proposal highlighting your research and/or clinical expertise in the provision of care to those with, or affected by, opioid use disorders. The Call for Presentations seeks proposals for workshops and posters that will present the innovative strategies happening in our clinics, the collaboration and partnerships between treatment program and community services, as well as the best practice models that support the full continuum of care and recovery from opioid use disorders. Each new conference year, we look to build on the success of the previous conference. We focused on the impact of prescription opioids on the healthcare system during the 2015 Conference in Atlanta. This year, we aim to take the next step and address the partnerships between opioid treatment providers and the linkages with community health care, social service, judicial, and government agencies needed to better serve our
- population. At our Hot Topic Roundtables, you will have the opportunity to discuss and
debate the latest evidence-based treatment models in use internationally and nationally. The AATOD conference will also provide a forum for you to network, meet colleagues and friends, and invite lively discussion around the current trends in opioid maintenance treatment. Baltimore, or “Charm City” as it is also known, is a vibrant city with a beautiful waterfront, eclectic restaurants, museums, and much to see and do. Baltimore is home to Fort McHenry, which defended the Baltimore Harbor during the War of 1812; the USS Constellation, the last Civil War vessel still afloat; and the country’s first cathedral, the Basilica of the National Shrine of Assumption. Baltimore is also the birthplace of the national anthem, penned by Francis Scott Key, and the American Railroad. Thurgood Marshall, Frederick Douglas, Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway, and Babe Ruth all once called Baltimore “home.” There is no better time to visit this beautiful city than in the fall. On behalf of AATOD’s Board, our hosts, and our planning committee, it is our hope that you will submit a proposal for presentation and join us in Baltimore in 2016. Sincerely, Vickie L. Walters, LCSW-C Kellie Rollins, PsyD Conference Chair Workshop Committee Chair

Greetings from Baltimore! We’re excited to be serving as host for the 2016 AATOD Conference with our theme: Saving Lives: Access to Improved Health & Recovery. Baltimore is a city that has struggled with drug addiction for decades, and has confronted the challenge by saving lives through publicly- supported treatment programs and successful efforts to reduce deaths from overdose. Baltimore has benefited from dynamic leadership in public health, and from the presence of major medical institutions. All have joined in efforts to arrest opioid abuse in our communities.
The host hotel, the Marriott Waterfront, is situated in Harbor East, a “city within a city” that has become part of Baltimore’s impressive skyline over the last 15 years. It is full of excellent restaurants and boutiques with superb views of Baltimore’s redeveloped, post-industrial waterfront. The hotel is a short walk from Baltimore’s world-famous Inner Harbor, with shops and restaurants along a brick promenade that rings the area. In fact, the promenade serves as a seven-mile pathway connecting one edge of the harbor rim to the other—from historic Fort McHenry, site of the 1814 battle that inspired Francis Scott Key’s writing of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” to Canton, the exciting southeast Baltimore neighborhood that has seen tremendous population growth over the last three decades. If you walk the walk, make sure you make a stop in historic Fells Point, another
- ld Baltimore neighborhood that has been in revival since the 1970s.
Because the AATOD Conference is being held in October, and during Halloween, you won’t want to miss the festivities in Fells Point. For years, students of the Maryland Institute College of Art have gathered in “the
