Tracks

  • NC Opioid Settlements

    These sessions review basic components of the National Opioid Settlement in North Carolina and other states, and may include discussions about data trends, implementation guidance and reporting requirements, and perspectives from local North Carolina governments implementing settlement-funded strategies.

    ➊
    Models for State-Local Coordination in Opioid Settlement Administration

    Speakers: Jamie Feld, Colorado Attorney General’s Office; Samantha Karon, Prince George’s County Health Department, Maryland; Charlie Lintecum, Virginia Opioid Abatement Authority; Nidhi Sachdeva, NCACC; Sara Whaley, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (moderator); Kristen Pendergrass, Shatterproof (moderator)

    The national opioid settlement agreements represent a common framework for all participating governments. While these agreements establish guidelines for how funds can be used, the specifics of fund distribution, expenditure, and tracking largely depend on the agreements made between each state and its local governments. As a result, the dynamics between state agencies, local governments, and other stakeholders can vary significantly. This session will explore promising approaches to shared decision-making in four states: Colorado, Maryland, North Carolina, and Virginia.

    âž‹
    Preparing to Respond: Disaster Recovery and Support

    Speakers: Anna Stanley, North Carolina State Opioid Treatment Authority (SOTA); Tyler Yates, NCDHHS, North Carolina Division of Public Health

    In North Carolina, we are increasingly facing devastating natural disasters, such as hurricanes, which place immense pressure on local services and infrastructure. These disasters can exacerbate overdose risks by disrupting access to medical care, resource networks, and social support systems. Additionally, economic hardship often increases as communities work through recovery. This session will explore how communities can better prepare to support individuals who use drugs, those on medications for opioid use disorder, and those at risk for overdose during and after emergency situations.

    ➌
    Tools and Best Practices to Plan and Implement NC Opioid Settlement Strategies

    Speakers: Alyssa Benziger, NCACC; Elizabeth Brewington, NCACC; Hillary Chen, NCACC; Andrea Des Marais, NCACC

    The NCACC Opioid Settlements Technical Assistance Team (OSTAT) assists local governments with planning, implementing, evaluating, and reporting on North Carolina’s opioid settlement funds. This session will review the NC Memorandum of Agreement (NC MOA) Exhibit C Collaborative Strategic Planning process, which is required to unlock any Exhibit B strategies, as well as the OSTAT-developed resource toolkit. Based on interviews with local governments across the state, OSTAT has also created case studies to help other localities understand how they can invest opioid settlement funds to save lives and build healthier communities. Speakers will discuss the development of these case studies and share key takeaways from local governments that have successfully implemented high-impact strategies.

    ➍
    Overdose Trends and New Metrics/Reporting Measures

    Speakers: Katherine Gora Combs, UNC Injury Prevention Research Center; Mary Beth Cox, NCDHHS, Division of Public Health; Jill Rushing, NCACC

    The overdose epidemic is dynamic and ever-evolving, and as such, our efforts to understand and track it must continuously adapt. This presentation will provide an overview of current public health trends, including fentanyl’s role in the overdose crisis, the rise of polysubstance use, and the populations most affected. Speakers will share resources for staying informed on surveillance efforts, including state-collected, population-level outcome measures like overdose death rates and emergency department visits for overdoses. The session will also cover the process, quality, and program-level outcome measures that local governments use to assess and report on their progress in opioid abatement activities.

    ➎
    Real Talk with NC Opioid Settlement Coordinators

    Speakers: Kristen Gentry, CARE Coalition of Transylvania County; Ashley Love, Robeson County; Annie Vasquez, Forsyth County Behavioral Health Services; Alyssa Kitlas, Wake County (Moderator)

    North Carolina’s approach to the opioid settlement is unique, with the majority of funds allocated directly to local governments. While approaches may be similar, no two local governments are planning or implementing abatement strategies in exactly the same way. This session will provide an opportunity to hear directly from county representatives across North Carolina about how they are making decisions on settlement fund allocation, building support, leveraging partnerships and resources, planning for maximum impact, and overcoming implementation challenges. Speakers will also reflect on early successes and key lessons learned from the first two years of implementation.

  • Prevention/Early Intervention

    These sessions focus on root causes of drug use and how we can support special populations like native communities and children and adolescents who may be struggling with problematic use of drugs or mental health conditions with evidence-based efforts; these sessions also offer a chance to explore grief and personal healing.

    ➊
    Finding Purpose Through Grief

    Speakers: Randy Abbott, Alcohol Drug Council of North Carolina — The Expand Good Sam NC Coalition; John Simmons, Appalachian Health District (serving Alleghany, Ashe, and Watauga) and Olive Branch Ministry

    Loss of a loved one, especially a child, to mental health or substance-related causes is devastating and tragic. With that loss comes anger and gut-wrenching grief that can be difficult to explain or understand. Learning how to move through discomfort and toward forgiveness takes work. Anger and judgment creates barriers to helping others; whereas working through a lens of compassion (for ourselves and others) allows us to meet people where they are. This session will explore through storytelling how family members have and can process their own grief and find purpose to help make impactful change with others.

    âž‹
    Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD): Best Practices

    Speakers: Amy O’Regan, MPH, NCACC; Lars Paul, North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition; Donnie Varnell, Dare County Sheriff’s Office & North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition

    The role of law enforcement in communities is changing as more agencies are using harm reduction-based approaches to improve public safety. This session will cover best practices for diversion and deflection programs using existing North Carolina programs as models. Speakers will discuss how to find the right partners to start a Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program in your area and will preview new resources created to support this process.

    ➌
    Strength in Culture: Supporting Tribal Efforts in Overdose Response

    Speakers: Skye Hart, Vital Strategies; Tony Locklear, Hoke County Health Department, UNC Greensboro, and NCDHHS

    Native communities have been addressing the overdose crisis for years through innovative, culturally specific efforts, despite often being underfunded and under-resourced. With Native people experiencing the highest rates of fatal overdose both nationally and in North Carolina, increasing funding and opportunities for Indigenous, culturally based approaches is more critical than ever. Join us in this session to explore how Tribes and Native organizations are supporting their community members in preventing overdose and addressing substance use disorder (SUD). Speakers will also discuss how your local government or organization can better collaborate with and support these vital efforts.

    ➍
    Adolescents and Substance Use

    Speaker: Martha Wunsch, MD FAAP DFASAM, Governors Institute

    This session will describe substance use disorder as a chronic medical disease and outline the neuroanatomy of reward — especially in the developing adolescent brain.

    ➊
    Naloxone Distribution and Compassionate Overdose Response

    Speakers: Maya Doe-Simkins, Remedy Alliance For The People; Amanda Isac, NCDHHS, Division of Public Health

    This session will explore strategies to expand access to naloxone, a life-saving medication that restores breathing during an opioid overdose, and ensure it reaches populations at high risk. Topics will also cover more affordable formulations of the medication, compassionate dosing to lower withdrawal risk, and ways to encourage connections to care after an overdose. Additionally, we will review resources and technical assistance available to agencies as they implement or expand naloxone distribution programs in their communities.

    âž‹
    Drug Checking: Vital Tool for Understanding and Treatment

    Speakers: Savannah Junkins, Carolina Family Health Centers, Inc; llyana Massey, UNC Opioid Data Lab; Charlton Roberson, North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition

    Adulterants in the drug supply complicate overdose reversals and treatment. Drug checking has become a vital tool for understanding changes in the drug supply and for treating opioid use disorder. The UNC Street Drug Analysis Lab tests drug samples submitted by patients and providers in the field. Results are used to educate community members and healthcare providers about the possible effects of various substances and how to best care for patients.

    ➌
    Harm Reduction History and Principles

    Speakers: Margaret Bordeaux; Louise Vincent, North Carolina Survivors Union; Chase Holleman, SAMHSA (Moderator)

    This panel will explore the history of harm reduction and the drug overdose epidemic in North Carolina. Speakers will focus on the perspectives of individuals with lived experience, examine the impact of the crisis on policies, practices, and programs, and reflect on how the response has evolved over the decades. Harm reduction is one of the four strategic priorities of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Overdose Prevention Strategy, developed to address the overdose public health emergency. North Carolina’s history and experience helped shape SAMHSA’s Harm Reduction Framework — the first of its kind — and the pillars, principles, and practice areas that guide harm reduction activities for federal, state, tribal, and local partners.

    ➍
    Syringe Service Programs as Health Hubs

    Speakers: Lauren Kestner, Center for Prevention Services; Montrel Miller, Coastal Horizons Center; Elyse Powell, North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition

    Syringe Service Programs (SSPs) directly serve the majority of North Carolina counties and act as hubs at the intersections of preventative and health-promoting services, medical and behavioral health care, housing, food access, and much more. Speakers will discuss the core essential services offered by SSPs since their legalization in North Carolina in 2016, as well as the unique models of their integrated programs.

    ➎
    Strategies and Skills for Substance-Use-Related Wound Care

    Speaker: Erika Harrison, Buncombe County Community Paramedic Program

    In this session, attendees will learn and practice how to assess, describe, and care for the most common substance-use-related wounds experienced by people who use drugs, including those caused by xylazine. Speakers will discuss how these injuries and infections can be addressed at varying levels of care and with commonly found supplies, as well as share harm reduction tips and advanced wound care techniques.

  • Treatment

    These sessions describe ways to increase access to life-saving medications for opioid use disorder through evidence-based treatment, using mobile services (e.g., EMS-based programs) and in carceral settings.

    ➊
    Meeting People Where They Are: Life-saving Mobile MOUD

    Speakers: Dalton Barrett, Edgecombe County Emergency Services; Jacquline Hodges, Division of Infectious Diseases, Duke University

    This session will highlight two mobile programs that support patients by providing medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), direct services, primary care, and linkages to community resources. Project MAPS (Medication Assisted Treatment and Primary Care Services) is a collaboration between the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition (NCHRC), Durham Technical Community Health Lab, and Duke Health to provide mobile medical outreach in underserved areas of Durham for persons who use drugs. Edgecombe County paramedics provide compassionate care while navigating the complexities of overdose, ensuring that every person is treated with dignity and respect through timely intervention and recovery support.

    âž‹
    It’s No Secret! What Works to Increase Access to Evidence-based Treatment

    Speakers: Jennifer Carroll, NC State University; Robert Heimer, Yale School of Public Health

    Part 1: Researchers led a secret shopper study to assess the availability of evidence-based treatment in North Carolina. This presentation will discuss the design of and findings from the research project. Topics covered will include the availability of evidence-based treatment, financial and physical accessibility of available treatment options, and the prevalence of different program models.

    Part 2: Using available state agency data in Connecticut, researchers determined the relative risk of a fatal opioid-involved overdose among those exposed to treatment for opioid use disorder within six months of the fatal overdose. We compared the incidence rates for different treatment modalities to individuals at risk of a fatal overdose who received no treatment in the six-month period. Results of these two studies offer insights into some of our most urgent questions about what works to save lives.

    ➌
    Medication for Opioid Use Disorder in Jails: Improving Health and Public Safety

    Speakers: Carlyle Johnson, Alliance Health; Shuchin Shukla, North Carolina Technical Assistance Center; Anita Wilson, CDC Foundation assignee to NCDHHS DPH Communicable Disease Branch

    Medications for opioid use disorder, particularly methadone and buprenorphine, are the standard of care for opioid addiction and have years of evidence supporting their efficacy in reducing overdose and improving health, particularly for individuals involved in the legal system. More recent research suggests providing this treatment in carceral settings reduces reincarceration, arrests, and substance use. Nevertheless, jails and prisons across the country have been slow to adopt treatment programs for incarcerated individuals, but throughout North Carolina, county and state detention facilities have been working hard to shift their culture and provide this life-saving care.

    ➍
    SupPORT: EMS Addressing Opioid Overdose Crisis in the Field

    Speakers: Sonya Cheek, Surry County Emergency Medical Services; Brandon Miller, Gaston County Emergency Medical Services

    Community paramedics play a crucial role in directly addressing the opioid overdose crisis in the field by providing immediate care and support to individuals dealing with opioid use disorders. They respond to overdose calls, connect patients to life-saving resources, and help bridge the gap between emergency care and long-term recovery support. By collaborating with peer support specialists, they offer a compassionate and understanding approach, ensuring that patients receive not only medical care but also support from those with lived experience. Through initiatives such as post-overdose response teams (PORT) and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs, community paramedics and peer support specialists work together to reduce overdose deaths and foster recovery within the community.

    ➎
    Leveraging Opioid Treatment Programs

    Speakers: Louis Leake, Comprehensive Treatment Center – Fayetteville; Anna Stanley, State Opioid Treatment Authority, NCDHHS

    This session will cover the myriad of services that Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) offer including patient access to life saving medications for opioid use disorder. This session will highlight many of the regulatory changes that have taken place over recent years to reduce barriers to gold standard treatment and harm reduction services. Speakers will also bust some long-standing myths that continue to stigmatize this evidenced-based treatment and the patients who access it.

  • Trauma-Informed Counties for Safer, Healthier Communities and Organizations

    Experiences of trauma are pervasive in our communities. They can make people more likely to suffer from harms related to drug use, and they can make it harder for people to seek services and meet their goals for healing. Trauma also affects service providers, leading to burnout, low morale, and high staff turnover. Every service provider and system has a role becoming more responsive to trauma so that we can better care for our communities and for our staff. This session is designed to explore the profound impacts of trauma and its interconnection with drug use, and to dig into specific, actionable strategies to address trauma across our service systems.
