Addiction Treatment Starts Here

What Is Addiction Treatment Starts Here? Over the last 25 years, more than 560,000 people in the United States have died from opioid overdoses<https://newsletter.careinnovations.org/t/j-l-glhduld-djdtkkykui-j/>, both illegal and prescription painkillers. As the death toll continues to soar, public health experts are urging clinics to get lifesaving medications into the hands of people with opioid use disorder. In CCI's program, also known as ATSH, we work with primary care providers to expand the use of critical FDA-approved medications for addiction treatment and opioid use disorder, including methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone, along with counseling and behavioral therapies.
What We've Done: In the six years that CCI has been running our evidence-based ATSH programs, we've worked closely with more than 100 primary care clinics and dozens of community groups to expand this urgently needed treatment. The program also seeks to erase the stigma of addiction, which is a barrier to treatment for countless Americans. Dr. Joe Sepulveda, a San Diego addiction psychiatrist involved with our program, explains that addiction is a chronic disease<https://newsletter.careinnovations.org/t/j-l-glhduld-djdtkkykui-t/> and should be treated without stigma or judgement — just like any other disease.
What's New — Yarning Circles: Yarning is an approach used by Australian aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to share stories and knowledge, one that centers narrative and encourages respect, trust and deep listening without judgment. With the guidance of Dr. Melanie Goodchild, Anishinaabe (Ojibway) of the moose clan, a designer and innovator with more than 30 years of experience working with First Nation communities, ATSH has added yarning to its sessions with program participants.
Along with its other work, ATSH has held three yarning sessions, with the first focused on people sharing their "sacred knowledge bundle" by talking about what life and their teachers have taught them so far. The second storytelling session was about stigma, which is a strong barrier to addiction treatment. ”We all hold stigma in a lot of different ways,” said CCI Program Manager Nicole Godreau Soria. “And some people shared that they were still holding stigma against people for using drugs instead of showing each other grace. This led to a really powerful discussion on how to change and recreate this mental model."
The final ATSH yarning circle, led by Goodchild this May, provided space for a conversation on grief and sustaining wellness in addiction treatment. "Melanie held space for processing the loss that accompanies this work, and we discussed how we can support each other and our teams... It felt very healing," said one ATSH participant.
The results have been transformative, says Godreau Soria. "Yarning has created really special and authentic ways of sharing," she said. "We get to converse with each other in a really human way — not like ‘I am CCI and you are your role,' just you and me as people…It allows people to connect in a different way, a relational way. Participants are very friendly with each other, they have inside jokes with each other; there’s a lot of camaraderie. We’ve heard people in the program are connecting outside of ATSH, really supplying and building community with each other. And it’s all based on storytelling."
[Voices from the Field - pull-quote from Dr. Melanie Goodchild, Anishinaabe (Ojibway), moose clan; Design and Innovation Strategist from Bawating (Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada): " Yarning is a relational methodology because so much of systems-sensing and making meaning in the world is a journey through collective wisdom. Yarning is about cultural safety, relationships, responsibility, and accountability between its participants. We’re so used to linear conversation, but in yarning, the space can allow it to go in different directions because you’re invited to think in terms of anecdotes. You’re encouraged to access more of your metaphor or story mind."]<https://newsletter.careinnovations.org/t/j-l-glhduld-djdtkkykui-i/>
