The Native Center for Alcohol Research Education (NCARE) Webinar Series presents:
Transitions to Recovery
with Dr. Patricia Valverde, Callie Noomah, and Riley Witte
Wednesday, October 30, 2019, 11AM-12PM PDT
Data from the Fairbanks Native Association Gateway to Recovery (GTR) detoxification program in 2018 showed that only about 2% of individuals receiving detox services transitioned to longer-term treatment. Transitions to Recovery (TTR) is a pilot study being conducted in Fairbanks, Alaska, that aims to increase the number of detoxification center consumers who initiate long-term recovery within 30 days of discharge.
This webinar will describe the intervention, including the motivational interviewing session and the patient navigation support commonly provided to participants as part of the TTR intervention. In addition, there will be discussion about the challenges to facilitating transitions to recovery for particularly vulnerable consumers, including those experiencing chronic homelessness.
We invite you to learn more about the work being done in this pilot project by attending the webinar on October 30.
