Target Audience
The target audience for this conference is community service providers and health professionals who would benefit from behavioral health education.
Purpose
This conference aims to establish a meaningful dialogue among health professionals by focusing on trending topics, best practices, and strategies for addressing barriers in behavioral health.
Educational Need
Current data from the Iowa Department of Public Health Data Tracking Portal shows that substance-involved deaths (specifically for alcohol, opioids, and psychostimulants) are increasing in Iowa. Furthermore, most people seeking treatment for a substance use disorder (SUD) do not seek it.
According to the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the most common reason (98%) of respondents did not receive needed substance use treatment was they did not feel they needed treatment, followed by 2% stating they felt they needed treatment and did not make an effort to get treatment. Additionally, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created barriers that are still being measured and can impact patient outcomes.
This conference also provides best practices to retain our behavioral health workforce. Not all insurers cover SUD and problem gambling treatment. While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires SUD services to be covered by insurance, not all insurance plans are governed by the ACA. Even when plans cover treatment, care access can still be difficult. For example, many healthcare and treatment providers do not accept ACA insurance, reducing the already limited number of available professionals who can help.
The number of individuals needing SUD treatment far surpasses the number of qualified clinicians and treatment programs available in the United States.
Often SUD co-occurs with mental health conditions; however, not all organizations can address those needs simultaneously. This can leave an individual deciding which diagnosis to seek treatment for — a mental health issue or a SUD. However, for most individuals, unless both behavioral health needs are treated together, the individual may continue to struggle.
To continue work to close these gaps, Iowa’s behavioral health workforce must be competent in current evidence-based practices for prevention, treatment, and recovery for SUD and/or problem gambling.
Learning Objectives
- Provide education to enhance the knowledge of the behavioral health workforce.
- Develop strength within each system discipline and increase collaboration between system partners for a coordinated response to substance use and problem gambling.
